Fort Leavenworth, where Roger J. Spiller taught the army's finest
for twenty-five years, is indeed a "school of war." There, among
military professionals who had experienced war firsthand, Spiller
honed his remarkable skills as an analyst and historian, scholar
and teacher--skills that have made him one of the best-known and
respected military historians of our day. This volume brings
together Spiller's original and thought-provoking explorations of
wars big and small and armies glorified and ignored. For each of
these essays--whether on urban warfare or the Vietnam syndrome,
battlefield psychology or the making of military history, and
underrated vs. overrated generals--Spiller revisits his topic and
his thinking, bringing fresh insight and a new context to an
incomparable body of work. "In the School of War" further reveals
the complex relationship between past and present in an
understanding of the nature of war.
