''The Oxford Companion to American Military History'' boasts over 1000 entries written by some 500 distinguished contributors. Readers will find Stephen E. Ambrose writing on the [[D-Day]] landing, James M. McPherson on the battle of [[Antietam]], John Keegan on the changing [[experience]] of combat, Jean Bethke Elshtain on Jane Addams, Mark A. Noll on [[religion]] and [[war]], and Robert M. Utley on [[Sitting Bull]]. Ranging from brief factual pieces to extensive essays, the entries examine every major war from [[the Revolution]] to the [[Persian Gulf]]; important battles from [[Bunker Hill]], to [[the Alamo]], [[Gettysburg]],[[ Little Bighorn]], [[Normandy]], and [[Khe Sanh]]; and military leaders from [[Washington]] to [[Grant]], [[Lee]], [[Eisenhower]], [[MacArthur]], [[Westmoreland]], and [[Schwarzkopf]]. Moreover, the Companion goes well beyond the usual “drum and trumpet” coverage to examine a wide range of subjects you might not expect to find. There are entries on relevant acts of Congress and on diplomatic policies such as the [[Monroe Doctrine]] and the [[Marshall Plan]]; on peace and antiwar movements; on war in [[film]], [[literature]], [[music]], and [[photography]]; and on war viewed through the disciplinary lenses of [[anthropology]], [[economics]], [[Gender|gender studies]], and [[psychology]]. The result is the widest ranging account compiled in one volume of war, peace, and the U.S. military.
