Corps Commanders of the Bulge
If the Battle of the Bulge was Germany's last gasp, it was also America's proving ground-the largest single action fought by the U.S. Army in World War II. Taking a new approach to an old story, Harold Winton widens our field of vision by showing how victory in this legendary campaign was built upon the remarkable resurrection of our truncated interwar army, an overhaul that produced the effective commanders crucial to GI success in beating back the Ardennes counteroffensive launched by Hitler's forces. Winton's is the first study of the Bulge to examine leadership at the largely neglected level of corps command. Focusing on the decisions and actions of six Army corps commanders—Leonard Ge...

Partnership and Tension: the Army and Air Force Between Vietnam and Desert Shield
Author Harold Winton analyzes the evolution of Army and Air Force warfighting concepts between the end of the Vietnam War and the start of the 1990-91 Gulf War against Iraq. His research reveals the high degree of pragmatism involved as each service responded to the other¿s doctrine and equipment requirements during the final years of the Cold War. Unexamined in this adaptation of a much larger body of research is the prospect for continued cooperation without the unifying influence of an overwhelmingly powerful hostile state. The heart of this essay is a critical, comparative analysis of Army and Air force doctrine regarding air-ground operations in the period 1973-1990.

The Challenge of Change
The Challenge of Change examines how military institutions attempted to meet the demands of the new strategic, political, and technological realities of the turbulent era between the First and Second World Wars. The contributors chose France, Germany, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States as focus countries because their military institutions endeavored to develop both the material capacity and the conceptual framework for the conduct of modern industrialized warfare on a continental scale. Also included are an introduction describing the intellectual and practical challenges facing the military reformer in peacetime and a concluding essay by Dennis Showalter drawing together the issues examined in the preceding studies and setting these themes in an interpretive, historiographical context.

MacArthur's Coalition
From 1942–1945 the Allies’ war in the Southwest Pacific was effectively a bilateral coalition between the United States and Australia under the command of General Douglas MacArthur. By charting the evolution of the military effectiveness of the US-Australian alliance, MacArthur’s Coalition puts the relationship between the United States and Australia at the center of the war against Japan. Drawing on new primary source material, Peter J. Dean has written the first substantial book-length treatment of the coalition as a combined military force. This expansive and ambitious book provides a fresh perspective on the Pacific War by providing a close-up, in-depth account of operations in the...
Corps Commanders of the Bulge
A major new approach to Hitler's much-studied famous last-gasp counteroffensive in late December 1944 that illuminates American command leadership at the "corps" level.
