Rezensionen
"This concise survey places land, sea, and air services in the broad context of American politics and society. Highly readable, it contains judicious coverage of roles played by women and minorities."
James C. Bradford, Texas A&M University
"A major contribution to the study of the American military. The essential questions and suggested readings included at the end of each chapter significantly increase its value as an undergraduate textbook."
Darlene M. Iskra, Commander, U.S. Navy, Retired, Ph.D., Author of Women in the United States Armed Forces
"In its seamless integration of the burgeoning number of works devoted to the study of 'War and Society,' Lookingbill's compelling synthesis performs an outstanding service for both professional historians and general readers."
Kevin Adams, Kent State University
