Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The four volumes of The Complete Medal of Honor present the full citations of the 3,537 awards granted to 3,517 men (nineteen were double recipients) and one woman between the start of the Civil War in 1861 and the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in 2021. This second volume covers the six and a half decades between the end of the Civil War and America's entry into World War Two. In that period the Medal of Honor was awarded to US combatants and non-combatants for conspicuous bravery in a series of small wars - some lasting a matter of weeks like the Korean Expedition of 1871, others drawn over decades like the Indian Wars of 186198 - and some much larger conflicts like World War One. The full citation for every recipient of the USA's highest award for bravery during that period is listed here. AUTHOR: Kevin Brazier has long been intrigued by bravery awards and their recipients.
