Review
If you want a glimpse of the Army's likely shape in a few year's time, there's a book you should be reading...Army Times
Breaking the Phalanx by Douglas A. Macgregor is essential reading for any serious student of the surrent military modernization debate embodied in the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), National Defense Panel and Joint Vision 2010 processes....Senior leaders would do well to consider its recommendations and analysis.Military Reviews
With Breaking the Phalanx, Colonel Douglas Macgregor has accomplished what all military authors aspire to but few achieve....[M]acgregor has captured the attention of his service's leadership and inspired a genuine debate....An accomplished scholar and writer, as well as a distinguished combat soldier in his own right, Macgregor begins' with a strong defense of the continuing relevance and utility of landpower....Breaking the Phalanx is an important book that may well endure....Highly readable, always interesting, his thrusting logic grapple resolutely with the possibilities....His book deserves careful reflection by all professionals concerned with the common defense.U.S. Army
Future historians of American military doctrine may well identify this book as the fulcrum point for American military thought and force structure at the turn of the 21st century.ARMOR
This is an important but odd book, somewhat schizophrenic but eminently worthwhile. It has become widely acclaimed, extensively reviewed in publications as diverse as U.S. News & World Report (a full page), Army Times (three pages), and Joint Forces Quarterly (two pages)....But senior military leaders are reading it as well. Army Times got four four-star generals to comment knowledgeably on the book....[B]reaking the Phalanx is a stimulating prod for a creative, bold reassessment of force designs being debated within all the military services.Strategic Review
Breaking the Phalanx is an interesting read, and many of its chapters stand on their own....Breaking the Phalanx is a thought-provoking book. Macgregor's ideas for modernizing the Army are truly revolutionary. The author may not fully appreciate the strategic effects of airpower, but his book is worth reading by military officers.Net Assessment
Douglas A. Macgregor has hit the nail directly on the head in Breaking the Phalanx....This analysis is at times brilliant and most definitely needed by America's armed forces....[A] goundbreaking work that defines the direction that the American military must take in the near future if it is to prevail against the world's "lean and mean" professional warriors of the 21st Century.Military and Naval History Journal
