• Sommario/riassunto: American Mobilities investigates representations of mobility - social, economic, geographic - in American film and literature during the Depression, WWII, and the early Cold War. With an emphasis on the dual meaning of "domestic," referring to both the family home and the nation, this study traces the important trope of mobility that runs through the "American" century. Juxtaposing canonical fiction with popular, and low-budget independent films with Classical Hollywood, Leyda brings the analytic tools of American cultural and literary studies to bear on an eclectic array of primary texts as she builds a case for the significance of mobility in the study of the United States.; »Das Buch unterstreicht die Wichtigkeit, die Geschichte der Mobilität im 20. Jahrhundert zu schreiben und diese Geschichte in die bestimmenden sozialstrukturellen Entwicklungen der Moderne einzuordnen. Dazu bietet die Studie ein breites Panorama wertvoller Anknüpfungspunkte, nicht zuletzt durch ihre raumanalytischen ; Perspektiven.« Dirk Thomaschke, H-Soz-u-Kult, 05.01.2017 Besprochen in: GMK-Newsletter, 4 (2016) The Chronicle, 30.09.2016

• Sommario/riassunto: For more than 3 decades, the U.S. Army War College (USAWC) Department of National Security and Strategy has faced the challenge of educating future strategic leaders on the subject of national security, or grand strategy. Fitting at the top of an officer’s or government official’s career-long professional development program, this challenge has been to design a course on strategy that incorporates its many facets in a short period of time, all within the 1-year, senior service college curriculum. To do this, a conceptual approach has provided the framework to think about strategy formulation. The purpose of this volume is to present the USAWC strategy formulation model to students and practitioners. This book serves as a guide to one method for the formulation, analysis, and study of strategy–an approach which we have found to be useful in providing generations of strategists with the conceptual tools to think systematically, strategically, critically, creatively, and big. Balancing what is described in the chapters as ends, ways, and means remains at the core of the Army War College’s ; approach to national security and military strategy and strategy formulation.
