Description

In 1898 the American Regular Army was a small frontier constabulary engaged in skirmishes with Indians and protesting workers; 43 years later, it was a large modern army ready to wage war against the Germans and the Japanese. In this social history of America's standing army, a military historian tells how that transformation was accomplished.
