Perret, Geoffrey A Country Made by War.
New York Random House 1989 0394553985 / 9780394553986 Hardcover Very Good in Good dust jacket
X, 628, [1] pages, cloth, DJ, very good. From the dust jacket: "In an exciting, colorful canvas covering every major American conflict, Geoffrey Perret not only has re-created our wars with extraordinary vividness but also has challenged many of our assumptions. " From Library Journal: "The controversial thesis of this work is that the United States has been far better prepared for the wars it fought than were most of its enemies. Perret argues that the idea of perpetual American unreadiness for war is a myth, refuted by over two centuries of unparalleled military success. Three factors have contributed to this result: acceptance of education's role in military efficiency; faith in firepower; and a dual technology serving both the needs of the military and the development of the economy as a whole. Perret presents his case in a fast-paced, well-written narrative. His interpretations of specific events are often as unconventional as his central premise. This is popular military history at its best, provoking specialists while challenging the general reader. Recommended as a counterpoint to Allan R. Millett and Peter Maslowski's For the Common Defense. " SR4037; 628 pages
