Binding is tight and square. xii, 688 pages : illustrations, portraits, maps ; 25 cm. . . . . . . FROM THE DUST JACKET FRONT FLAP: The book has a challenging theme: a great power must today maintain a highly professional army organized along lines different from the society it is set up to protect. Americans, the author says, fully understand the realistic requirements of the football field and of the baseball diamond, but not of the battlefield. The civilian liberal and the soldier," he states, "unfortunately are eyeing two different things: the civilians are concerned with men living together in peace and amiability and justice; the soldier's task is to teach men to suffer and fight, kill and die." The terrible lesson of Korea was that to send into action troops trained for nothing but "serving a hitch" in some quiet billet is little better than murder. This whole question is of vital concern to us all. As the author also stresses, if another., similar action follows the Korean *police action,* it will not be years or months, or even days, but a matter of hours until American troops are committed-ready or not. The book also contains a chronology, glossaries, maps, charts, and photographs.…

We have sold over 200,000 books over the years, both on-line and in our bookstore, including a fair amount to Great Britain and many other locations worldwide. You can count on professional results from us as far as customer service goes. Our quantity of books may not be as large as most dealers but what we have in inventory are quality books accurately described (all with pictures) and professionally packaged and shipped.
