Real Soldiering

"Real Soldiering" explores the US Army's challenging and ongoing process of rebuilding after each major conflict since the War of 1812, highlighting a consistent pattern of recovery and adaptation. Challenging common historical views, Brian Linn examines the postwar Army as a unique entity, emphasizing its distinct development separate from wartime and peacetime periods. Based on extensive research and Linn's personal insights, the book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking look at the Army's transition from war to peace, making it relevant to military historians, analysts, and those with Army experience.
