In line with the views of Clausewitz, the principal object of the text is to stimulate a progressive and scientific study of United States military history and leadership with the hope that it will "produce searching rather than inventive minds and cool rather than hot heads," to which the safety of our country can be most advantageously entrusted in time of emergency or war.All officers of the United States Army, but particularly those having historical assignments and undergoing instruction at the service schools and colleges or civilian educational institutions, will find the text helpful. Scholars and others interested in American military affairs may also find it very useful.The Writing of American Military History: A Guide was orginally published by the Department of the Army in June 1956.

Recent Themes in Military History by Donald A. Yerxa Pdf

Described as "the New York Review of Books for history,"Historically Speaking has emerged as one of the most distinctive historical publications in recent years, actively seeking out contributions from a pantheon of leading voices in historical discourse from both inside and outside academia. Recent Themes in Military History represents some of the best writing on military history to appear in the past five years. This collection of forums, interviews, and individual essays drawn from Historically Speaking provides contrasting views on such topics in military history as the existence and function of military revolutions in the past and present, the experience of soldiering and combat, the particularly violent and gruesome nature of twentieth-century warfare, and projections of the nature of future wars. The ebb and flow of discourse between contributors also illustrates how the study of history is an ongoing conversation wherein discovery and debate lead to deeper understanding and development of fresh opportunities for further inquiry.

New Dimensions in Military History by Russell Frank Weigley Pdf

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.
