From the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 through the years
immediately after the collapse of the World Trade Center and
Pentagon in 2001, and within the administrations of George H. W.
Bush, William J. Clinton, and George W. Bush, soldiers' lives
underwent enormous changes. Without the benefit of national
conscription, these professionals, nurtured on stories of World War
II, Korea, and Vietnam, experienced repetitive tours of duty in one
combat zone after another to an extent the warriors of earlier eras
could never have imagined. They fought every kind of war during
this period; high-intensity mechanized war, air and heliborne
raids, peace-keeping activities, urban combat, counter-insurgency
operations, refugee support, and counter-narcotics operations. What
makes the story of this era's soldiers all the more compelling is
that these activities took place as the American military actually
decreased its military strength during the period, leading to more
and longer tours of duty. Some of the operations and issues covered
in this volume include: The "Be All That You Can Be Soldier" with
new roles for men and women and with new technology to learn The
Persian Gulf 1990-91, with Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm
Interventions, War, and Insurgency after Desert Storm The book also
includes a timeline to put dates and events in better perspective;
a comprehensive, topically arranged bibliography; and a thorough
index.
