Böcker av William A. Taylor

Ashton B. Carter said when announcing that the Pentagon would open all combat jobs to women, "I made a commitment to building America's force of the future. In the twenty-first century, that requires drawing strength from the broadest possible pool of talent." William Taylor chronicles and analyses the long and ever-changing history of that often contentious and controversial effort.

Beginning in 1943, US Army leaders mounted a sustained campaign to establish a system of universal military training (UMT) in America. In Every Citizen a Soldier, William A. Taylor illustrates how army leaders failed to adapt their strategy to the political realities of the day and underscores the delicate balance in American democracy between civilian and military control of strategy.
