• Sommario/riassunto: In 1898 the American Regular Army was a small frontier constabulary engaged in skirmishes with Indians and protesting workers. 43 years later, in 1941, it was a large modern army ready to wage global war against the Germans and the Japanese. Coffman tells how that critical transformation was accomplished.
