Reviews: Rebuilding the Post-Vietnam U.S. Army

摘要

If you want to understand how the U.S. Army resurrected itself after the Vietnam War and proceeded to design and build an Army that could take on the Warsaw Pact and win, you would be well advised to delve into the collective writings and speeches of GEN Donn A. Starry, all exceptionally well put-together by historian Lewis (Bob) Sorley in a two-volume set entitled Press On! (which happens to be a favorite Starry statement, recognized by those who worked for him). No one but Starry had such a strong hand and a smart mind in this rebuilt Army. He was clearly the right person for the right jobs at the right times. He knew how to make things happen in the arcane world of doctrine, combat and training developments.
