"The lessons of the past and implications for the future of
combined arms warfare, as chronicled in detail and assessed
insightfully in this study, cannot be ignored. [This] is an
interesting, provocative, and compelling study that merits a wide
audience, both inside and outside of the military."--Journal of
America's Military Past"This well-written and thoughtful book
should be read by students of military history. House persuasively
advocates balanced capabilities, a perspective that is timely and
important."--Joint Force Quarterly"A well-written and insightful
history that concentrates mainly on the battlefield experiences and
military doctrines of the United States, Great Britain, Germany,
the Soviet Union, and France. . . . House's treatise should be a
required text for all professional soldiers."--Defense Studies"A
useful and readable text for anyone who wants a better
understanding of how modern armies fight."--Naval War College
Review"This is an important book: in this age of key-wording, it
will be the first work that military professionals, historians, and
others are likely to consult when approaching the thicket of
combined-arms warfare."--International History Review"This book as
long been one of the most comprehensive overviews of the evolution
of the modern tactical battlefield. . . . Lucid analysis and solid
research."--Military Review
"A superb example of military history written to guide the
practicing soldier but at the same time fascinating for the general
reader."--Russell F. Weigley, author of The American Way of
War"Should be highly useful to soldiers and scholars alike and
especially valuable in all military schools from the advanced
courses through the war colleges, and a staple in any university
where military history is taught."--Dave R. Palmer, author of
Summons of the Trumpet"For those considering the challenges of
future warfare, House's insights on past military operations cannot
be ignored."--Michael D. Doubler, author of Closing with the
Enemy"Without a doubt the finest examination of modern ground
combat in print."--Peter R. Mansoor, author of The GI Offensive in
Europe
