Atlas of the Week 6 (October 21-27): The West Point Atlas of American Wars

The West Point Atlas of American Wars painstakingly catalogues American military history in great detail. The university library has the first two volumes in the series that span from the colonial wars through the Korean War. Each battle of each war is described clearly, and each battle has an extremely detailed accompanying map. The maps are quite impressive; they show the movement of troops and the progression of battle. This atlas is relevant to our class’s studies because it details the more aggressive side of US international ventures.
