The First World War marked a key turning point in America's
involvement on the global stage. Isolationism fell, and America
joined the ranks of the Great Powers. Civil-Military relations
would face new challenges as a result. Ford examines the multitude
of changes that stemmed from America's first major overseas
coalition war, including the new selective service process; mass
mobilization of public opinion; training diverse soldiers; civil
liberties, anti-war sentiment and conscientious objectors;
segregation and warfare; Americans under British or French command.
Post war issues of significance, such as the Red Scare and
retraining during demobilization are also covered. Both the federal
government and the military were expanding rapidly both in terms of
size and in terms of power during this time. The new group of
citizen-soldiers, diverse in terms of class, religion, ethnicity,
regional identity, education, and ideology, would provide training
challenges. New government-military-business relationships would
experience failures and successes. Delicate relationships with
allies would translate into diplomatic considerations and
battlefield command concerns.
