Description

This book aims to serve the military profession, and so the national interest, by helping to generate intelligent reform of how the armed forces train, educate, and promote officers who shape our military strategy and write our war plans.

Readers will discover the professional and intellectual improvement that wide reading in the masters of historical narrative offers to them.

The first chapter, Lessons Not Learned, surveys our strategic documents-and their recent applications-and offers criticism and recommendations.

The second chapter, Transformation Ballyhoo, evaluates our current efforts at military transformation and offers an alternative approach to rehabilitating our armed forces.

The third chapter, The Brain of An Army, offers ideas on building a first-rate Joint War College.

Chapters four through six focus on military campaigns: France 1940; Stalingrad; North Africa, 1940-43.

The theme is that moral and intellectual qualities determine the fate of armies in war, and that material and bureaucratic machinery are not nearly so vital as we seem to think nowadays.
