Overview

Federalism Disarmed: Power, Militias, and the Fragility of American Democracy From Lexington Green to Little Rock, from the antebellum muster fields to the National Guard deployments of the modern era, the history of American militias tells a story far larger than muskets, uniforms, or parades.
