Americans grow up expecting that in a time of need, their country
can depend on its people for volunteer service to the military.
Indeed, this has been a social and at times legal expectation for
the citizenship of this country since 1776. Yet, since the end of
World War II United States forces have been caught up in many long
term military engagements, and the military aspect of citizenship
has become an increasingly marginalized one in a world where only a
minority of citizens even vote. Citizen and Soldier: A Sourcebook
on Military Service and National Defense from Colonial America to
the Present provides a useful framework and supporting documentary
evidence for an informed discussion of the development of the
American ideal of the "Citizen Soldier". Presented with insightful
introductions and useful discussion questions, this concise
collection of 27 primary documents takes a close look at the United
States military and shows how it became entwined with the rise of
American national identity.
