Just as _Death Ground_ brings _On Infantry_ to the present so _Getting It Right_ brings _The American Way of War_ to the present. It covers the 3 secrets of successful armies: practice, practice, practice and how the US Military did it, mainly the Army.

This review is from: Getting It Right, Second Edition: American Military Reforms After Vietnam and Into the 21st Century (Paperback)
Dunnigan's a brilliant writer, i've read almost everything he's written. This book is an analysis of what went wrong with the US military during the Vietnam war and how it got slowly fixed, during the 1970's and 1980's, to be the unstoppable juggernaut it is today. there's an awful lot of question left unanswered, and really not enough about the politics or human factors during the era (particularly the failure of the joint US German MBT-70 tank) that affected the US military during this time. Overall, a good solid book for war freaks but a little too light for my taste. I bought it once, i lost it during several moves, will i buy it again, no.
