An inventive study of relations between the National Guard and
the Regular Army during World War II, Guard Wars follows the
Pennsylvania National Guard's 28th Infantry Division from its
peacetime status through training and into combat in Western
Europe. The broader story, spanning the years 1939 1945, sheds
light on the National Guard, the U.S. Army, and American identities
and priorities during the war years. Michael E. Weaver carefully
tracks the division s difficult transformation into a combat-ready
unit and highlights General Omar Bradley's extraordinary capacity
for leadership which turned the Pennsylvanians from the least
capable to one of the more capable units, a claim dearly tested in
the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest. This absorbing and informative
analysis chronicles the nation's response to the extreme demands of
a world war, and the flexibility its leaders and soldiers displayed
in the chaos of combat."
