This landmark, myth-shattering work chronicles the most powerful institution in America, the people who created it, and the pathologies it has spawned.

Making Citizen-Soldiers: Rotc and the Ideology of American Military Service
ISBN: 9780674007154 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the Reserve Officers Training Corps program as a distinctively American expression of the social, cultural, and political meanings of military service. Since 1950, ROTC has produced nearly two out of three American active duty officers, yet there has been no comprehensive scholarly look at civilian officer education programs in nearly forty years. While most modern military systems educate and train junior officers at insular academies like West Point, only the United States has relied heavily on the active cooperation of its civilian colleges.
