Amvets: Fifty Years of Proud Service to America's Veterans

While World War II was still raging, thousands of young Americans returned home with battle wounds...& before long, the idea of a national veterans organization began to take shape. Here, in one comprehensive volume, is the story of those formative years...the struggle for recognition & members...later, the triumphs in national & international arenas. This fascinating history traces the events that had people calling AMVETS "the most successful of the new veterans' organizations"...& how it became one of the most influential. The book features a large 8 1/2" by 11" format & comes bound in a handsome cloth hardcover.
