| Summary |
"In this book, Robert Wooster provides a comprehensive history of the United States Army from its inception during the American Revolution to the Philippine-American War. He integrates the institutional history of the Army with larger trends in US history, with a special focus on state building and civil-military relations. This will be the definitive book on the US Army's relationship with the nation during the nineteenth century. It will be of interest to military and non-military historians alike, and will be an especially valuable text for course assignments at the undergraduate and graduate levels"-- Provided by publisher. |
