Book Description
Excerpt from Recollections of Henry Watkins Allen, Brigadier-General Confederate States Army, Ex-Governor of Louisiana "A man that fortune's buffets and rewards hast ta'en with equal thanks! And bless'd are those Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled, That they are not a pipe for fortune's finger, to sound what stop she please." Hamlet, Act iii., scene 2. "And you ought to take very great care, when you are about to praise or blame any man, that you speak correctly." Plato - The Minos. "But such acts as no poet has yet thrown round them a renown suited to their worth, and which are still in remembrance, all these it seems I ought, by praising, to call to mind, and by introducing them to others, make them a subject for songs and other kinds of poetry, according to the actors." Plato - The Menexens. "For the main point in biography is, to present the man in all his relations to his time, and to show to what extent it may have opposed or prospered his development. What view of mankind and the world he has shaped from it, and how far he himself may be an external reflection of its spirit." Goethe - Wahrheit und Dichtung.

Book Description
As U.S. military forces appear overcommitted and some ponder a possible return to the draft, the timing is ideal for a review of how the American military transformed itself over the past five decades, from a poorly disciplined force of conscripts and draft-motivated "volunteers" to a force of professionals revered throughout the world. Starting in the early 1960s, this account runs through the current war in Iraq, with alternating chapters on the history of the all-volunteer force and the analytic background that supported decisionmaking. The author participated as an analyst and government policymaker in many of the events covered in this book. His insider status and access offer a behind-the-scenes look at decisionmaking within the Pentagon and White House. The book includes a foreword by former Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird. The accompanying DVD contains more than 1,700 primary-source documents-government memoranda, Presidential memos and letters, staff papers, and reports-linked directly from citations in the electronic version of the book. This unique technology presents a treasure trove of materials for specialists, researchers, and students of military history, public administration, and government affairs to draw upon.
