"An informative and thought-provoking history of recent infantry
operations with reasoned glimpses of its possible future."
-DR. SHAWN WHETSTONE
"Military Heritage"
"This is Colonel Bolger's] most significant work to date, important
both for students of the contemporary U.S. Army and for general
readers- even those normally uninterested in military affairs.
Bolger documents the infantry's change over the past sixty years
from a mass force of citizen soldiers to a small body of elite
professionals. He presents each currently existing type of
infantry-paratroopers, air assault, mechanized, light, rangers, and
marines. . . . In each case study, Bolger emphasizes the quality
and preparation, making it quite clear that will without skill and
motivation without competence are certain routes to disaster. . . .
While praising today's infantry as the best the country has ever
fielded, Bolger raises the prospect that the U.S. military, by
emphasizing technology and economy, will leave the country with an
elite infantry too small to sustain heavy losses and too
specialized to be quickly replaced."
