"Will likely serve as the bible for tracing the evolution of U.S. Army doctrine from von Steuben's drill on the frozen fields of Valley Forge to tactics and techniques for kicking in doors in Kabul. . . . For those interested in understanding how America's Army has thought about fighting future wars, [title] will be a valuable resource."--Army
"Kretchik provides a good and balanced account of Army doctrine from the 1770s to the 2000s."--Army History
"What Walt Kretchik has produced is a pioneering tour d'horizon of how the U.S. Army thought about war and applied that thinking to fighting and training and, in turn, was influenced by experience as well as the preferences of key individuals. In accomplishing this, it is the first of what should be several more books that need to be written. . . . and Walt Kretichik is the right soldier-scholar to undertake these tasks. As he proved in this book, he can tell a complex story in a way that fascinates the reader."--Small Wars Journal
"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)
