Publisher Description
This volume documents how the United States military was transformed from a poorly disciplined force of conscripts and draft-motivated ""volunteers"" to a force of professionals revered throughout the world. Starting in the early 1960s, this account runs through the war in Iraq, with alternating chapters on the history of the all-volunteer force and the analytic background that supported decisionmaking. The author participated as an analyst and government policymaker in many of the events covered in this book. His insider status and access offer a behind-the-scenes look at decisionmaking within the Pentagon and White House.
