"American Artillery and the Medal of Honor" is not the story of a single service or a particular branch of service. Rather, it is the story of an American fighting arm and the men who won the Medal of Honor serving that arm. It is the story of the land-based Artillery of the United States (Field, Coastal, and Air Defense) and the men involved with the delivery of fires from large caliber, crew-served weapons designed primarily for indirect fire. The story deals mostly with Soldiers and Marines, but it also includes some Sailors. It is a story that constantly reminds us of the Napoleonic dictum: God fights on the side with the best Artillery. Contents: Introduction | Artillerymen and the Medal of Honor | The Civil War 1861-1865 | The Indian Wars 1861-1898 | The Philippine Insurrection 1899-1913 | Vera Cruz 1914 | World War I 1917-1918 | World War II 1941-1945 | Korea 1950-1953 | Vietnam War 1964-1975 | Naval Gunfire | Conclusion | Appendix: Tables 1-21 | Source Notes | The Author. 44 photos and illustrations.
