"LEARNING LESSONS IN THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES"

An extended essay by Kenneth E. Hamburger, published by The United States's Army Center of Military History in 1997, provides an analytical overview of World War I.

"UNITED STATES ARMY IN THE WORLD WAR, 1917-1919"

The Army preserved much of the history of the American Expeditionary Forces in an eighteen-volume collection of records entitled "United States Army in the World War, 1917-1919. Produced in 1948, this monumental work quickly became an essential source of documentary information on all aspects of the U.S. Army's challenges and experiences in the war.

After the war the Historical Section of the Army War College processed thousands of documents relating to the events of 1917-18. The War Department in 1939 directed the Historical Section to identify appropriate materials for publication; these documents were to provide the information needed to prepare a complete and accurate accounts of the participation of the military forces of the United States in the World War. In 1948 the United States Army published the compilation of documents taken from the records of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) that served in Europe during World War I. The work offers a widely representative selection of the records believed to be essential to a study of the history of that war. All aspects of the AEF history are covered in the eighteen volumes.
