It is a remarkable achievement almost unique in human history, for freedom usually comes at a much higher price. Through the years, Americans have paid dearly in blood and treasure, fighting for liberty around the world. In this catalog, we remember and honor those sacrifices and hope you will join us in doing so. Inside, you’ll find an expanded section on the Civil War. April marks the 150th anniversary of its outbreak, and with such an important date upon us, now is a great time to learn more about the conflict – the bloodiest in U.S. history – and to add Civil War items to your library or collection. Of course, the World Wars receive the lion’s share of pages inside. You’ll find products covering the Allies, the Central Powers, and the Axis – it is as important to understand what went so terribly wrong in fascist Europe those 70+ years ago as it is to honor those who defeated it. Special Introductory Price! Save $20 Good thru May 31 st, 201 1 Then there is the post-World War II world, where our enemies became our allies and our allies became our rivals.
