Book Synopsis
From the American Revolution to the war on terror, US Army doctrine has evolved to regulate the chaos of armed conflict by providing an intellectual basis for organising, training, and equipping the military. Walter Kretchik analyses the service's doctrine to reveal that its leadership is more forward thinking than has been generally believed.

Trade Review
A superb and highly readable guide to the common threads of American military theory from the Revolution to the present. . . . Convincingly demonstrates that the U.S. Army’s warfighting doctrine has been and remains a relevant guide to effectiveness in war." - Jonathan M. House, author of Combined Arms Warfare in the Twentieth Century

"Kretchik’s comprehensive study traces the most important intellectual threads that have shaped the Army’s performance in both peace and war and deflates the myth that the United States Army thrives on chaos and cares little for doctrine." - Conrad Crane, coauthor of Counterinsurgency (Army/Marine Field Manual 3-24)
