The Inspectors General of the United States Army
The Inspectors General of the United States Army, 1903-1939, the companion volume to Joseph W. A. Whitehorne's earlier study of inspection practices and experiences during the formative years from 1777 to 1903, continues the saga of the Inspector General's Department and its corps of inspectors during the growth years from 1903 to 1939. This volume is a tribute to the exceptional group of dedicated soldiers who sustained a proud tradition, and those who carry it on will find much inspiration in reading about how the inspection system has evolved and why things are done the way they are.

Army Readiness Reporting Systems, 1945-2003
"The U.S. Army before 1945 did not have and did not need a formal readiness reporting system. After World War II, however, it found itself committed to large-scale deployments in Europe and in the Pacific, commitments that with the Cold War would continue for the next 45 years. The demands of this war, along with the wars in Korea and Vietnam, made it vital that senior service leaders had accurate information on the readiness of units in the Regular Army, the Army National Guard, and the Army Reserve. The methods for measuring readiness, however, soon became and then remained a matter of contention. Equally contentious was the use of data generated by readiness reporting systems, both within the service and by others outside the service. The end of the Cold War did not end these disputes. Indeed, the years between that victory and the start of the second Iraq war in 2003 were a time of heightened concern over military readiness and how to assess it."--Provided by publisher.
Fever of War
The influenza epidemic of 1918 killed more people in one year than the Great War killed in four, sickening at least one quarter of the world's population. In Fever of War, Carol R. Byerly uncovers the startling impact of the 1918 influenza epidemic on the American army, its medical officers, and their profession, a story which has long been silenced. Through medical officers' memoirs and diaries, official reports, scientific articles, and other original sources, Byerly tells a grave tale about the limits of modern medicine and warfare. The tragedy begins with overly confident medical officers who, armed with new knowledge and technologies of modern medicine, had an inflated sense of their ab...
