The American Military by Joseph T Glatthaar
The American Military: A Concise History narrates the American military experience. It focuses on four recurring themes-- citizen soldiers vs. the standing armed forces; military professionalism; mechanization and technology; and the limits of power--and illuminates the role of the American military in its past and how it is shaping current and future national security issues.
A launching pad for your exploration of American military history.. Glatthaar invites readers to think more broadly about the role of the military in the democratic US nation. * Bruce Zellers, H-Net *
