They are your friends, family, and fellow Americans - but how well do you know the National Guard?

Step into the pages of history with "Uniquely American," a captivating book written by Leslie Wolf, a 30-year veteran of the National Guard. In this informative tribute, Leslie's deep-rooted passion for the National Guard shines through as she takes you on an in-depth exploration of this military institution's evolution over time.

With a profound desire to share her insider knowledge and extensive research, Wolf delves into both the triumphs and the errors committed throughout the National Guard's rich history. This meticulously crafted book offers a comprehensive look at how various necessary but widespread grass roots militia forces transformed into the organized reserve force that benefits us today.

Prepare to be captivated as Wolf recounts pivotal moments in American history, including head-to-head conflicts between governors and the president during the Civil Rights movement, or the fallout when protests become civil disturbances such as the Kent State and the Watts Riots. With unwavering honesty, Wolf shines a light on the mistakes made by political forces that set progress back, and the laws and policies that set the National Guard apart as an essential piece of our nation's security. Through her vivid storytelling, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the National Guard and its unwavering commitment to protect and serve - even as tensions between state versus federal government, and full-time versus part-time service threatened to undermine the most important purposes of the United States military engine.

The National Guard is more than just an institution; it is America's link to the political climate of the world. As you immerse yourself in "Uniquely American," you'll come to appreciate how its members are not just soldiers in uniform, but neighbors, family, and friends within our communities.
