In this companion volume to his 1995 bibliography of the same title, Daniel Blewett continues his foray into the vast literature of military studies. As did its predecessor, it covers land, air, and naval forces, primarily but not exclusively from a U.S. perspective, with the welcome emergence of small wars from publishing obscurity. In addition to identifying relevant organizations and associations, Blewett has gathered together the very best in chronologies, bibliographies, biographical dictionaries, indexes, journals abstracts, glossaries, and encyclopedias, each accompanied by a brief descriptive annotation. This work remains a pertinent addition to the general reference collections of public and academic libraries as well as special libraries, government documents collections, military and intelligence agency libraries, and historical societies and museums.

Provides students and researchers new insights into the 1950s in the US, through an in-depth analysis of forty important primary source documents and their lasting effect on American history. Coverage include the Korean war and the Vietnam war, the civil rights movement, McCarthyism and the cold war, the beginning of the space race, baby boomers and suburban growth and much more.
