Product Description
This is the second edition of a book about a little understood subject, the dramatic reform of the American military, and particularly the U.S. Army, between the end of the Vietnam war and the Persian Gulf war of 1990-91. The second edition material carries the study through the 1990s and a few years beyond. We cover a lot of subjects that few Americans are familiar with. While the book was written for the general audience, we know that a lot of military professionals will read it. We have purposely avoided using a lot of the military jargon in explaining what the military had to do and how they did it. The many military professionals who read this may find it jarring as we use of common civilian terms in place of the more familiar (to soldiers) jargon. For example, a popular buzzword in the military these days is "synchronization." This term is used to describe the successful team effort of all the weapons, equipment, tasks and units in achieving a result so that there is no wasted effort. We use the word "coordination," which is more comprehensible to the average civilian and still gets the point across.
