Críticas:

"Ambitious in its undertaking, "The Rise of the National Guard" is exhaustively researched, with material drawn from many primary sources, including state guard manuscripts and War Department reports that perhaps have not seen much use since their initial compilation. The narrative is very readable, and the book is lavishly illustrated with charts. It should serve as the standard reference work on the evolution of the National Guard for some time to come."--Richard Stenberg, "North Dakota History"--Richard Stenberg "North Dakota History "

Reseña del editor:

This volume describes in thorough detail the evolution of the state militia system to a more federally controlled National Guard during the crucial years of development. The subject is important because the "citizen soldier" and "militiaunational guard" tradition is one of the two pillars on which American military policy was built; a professional, regular military force was the other. Jerry CooperAs detailed research, unique examination of the experience of individual states, and careful analysis will make this the standard treatment of the subject.
