Book Overview
An anthology of papers presented in the course conducted for future leaders of U.S. military by the U.S. Army War College in the 1970s. Papers address such questions as what is military history? Is it only the study of conflict, of battles and skirmishes?The main purpose of the course in military history was to encourage historical mindedness rather than to impart a specific body of knowledge. Emphasized throughout was the fact that lessons to be learned might more likely be negative ones, cautionary examples of what not to do. The result was a practical search for problems of the past paralleling similar problems of today. Generally recognized as the leading military historian in the U.S., Weigley has published numerous works.
