Books on American History - For Posterity

I study military history, and have for about 65 years.
It is such a wide subject that I specialize in 1920-1945. I have 200 or more volumes, hardback and paperback combined.

May I suggest looking in thrift stores for encyclopedias? I scored a 22 volume 1972 set of World Book for $15. The internet and google drove them into obscurity, but a set of encyclopedias was in most homes in the 1950's and 60's when I was growing up. It's fun to grab a volume at random and start reading for 30 minutes or an hour in the evening. (We don't watch TV at our house, it rots the brain)

I'm enjoying on Kindle - Our Vietnam Wars: as told by 100 veterans who served https://www.amazon.com/Our-Vietnam-Wars-veterans-served/dp/1980247331/

Short stories of ordinary and amazing people, many of whom surround us yet never talk about their contributions.

I clicked the link, and read the blurb, and saw there are a total of 4 volumes.
I'll have to order the first one to see what they are like.
I generally avoid Vietnam books, sometimes they stir things up in me.
