Publisher Description
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. This story is vital because of the ultimate outcome of the failure of the UMT initiative: the birth of the Cold War draft.
WILLIAM A. TAYLOR is an assistant professor of security studies at Angelo State University. A graduate of the United States Naval Academy, he previously served in the US Marine Corps.
