This volume, a collection of eleven original essays by many of the
foremost U.S. military historians, focuses on the transition of the
Army from parade ground to battleground in each of nine wars the
United States has fought. Through careful analysis of organization,
training, and tactical doctrine, each essay seeks to explain the
strengths and weaknesses evidenced by the outcome of the first
significant engagement or campaign of the war. The concluding essay
sets out to synthesize the findings and to discover whether or not
American first battles manifest a characteristic "rhythm."
America's First Battles provides a novel and intellectually
challenging view of how America has prepared for war and how
operations and tactics have changed over time. The thrust of the
book--the emphasis on operational history--is at the forefront of
scholarly activity in military history.
