Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the United States' historic policy of maintaining a small army without reserves, contrasting it against the sudden increase in military spending and preparation following the outbreak of World War I. The author scrutinizes national policies, presidential decisions, and definitions of military preparedness, arguing that the military establishment's focus on luxurious accommodations and private comfort hindered true military efficiency. Exploring the complex relationship between military and political power, the book contends that the United States' substantial military spending did not translate into greater military effectiveness due to outdated methods and lack of military spirit. This book offers valuable insights into the historical factors shaping the United States' military preparedness and the complexities of balancing national defense with democratic ideals.
