The American experience in particular is a story worth telling and one that captures the essence of a doctrine today reflecting the type of warfare that built an American global force over the centuries.
Military Doctrine: An American Military History Survey examines how an amalgam of a domestic U.S. experience combined with foreign ideas challenged by intellectuals within and outside the military created a unique American military culture described in doctrine today. It consists of eight chapters designed to fit within the framework of contemporary online opportunities and is not intended to be anything more than a historical introduction to the exciting study of military doctrine.
Additionally, each chapter has a series of questions for the reader’s consideration, which will actually provide the opportunity to get one’s hands dirty with real doctrine with an emphasis placed on introductory content.
