"The Cold War marked a new era for America's military, one dominated by nuclear weapons and airpower that seemed to diminish the need for conventional forces. Ingo Trauschweizer chronicles the U.S. Army's struggles with its identity, structure, and mission in the face of those challenges, showing how it evolved, redefined its mission more than once, and ultimately transformed itself." "The U.S. Army's evolution during the 1950s and its role in Europe throughout the Cold War have remained two of the most neglected subjects in American military history. By covering the interaction of strategy, organization, doctrine, and technology in the army during this era - as well as the relationship between army doctrine and U.S./NATO defense strategy - The Cold War U.S. Army marks a major contribution to our understanding of both subjects."--BOOK JACKET.
