Beginning in 1943, US Army leaders such as John M. Palmer, Walter
L. Weible, George C. Marshall, and John J. McCloy mounted a
sustained and vigorous campaign to establish a system of universal
military training (UMT) in America. Fearful of repeating the rapid
demobilization and severe budget cuts that had accompanied peace
following World War I, these leaders saw UMT as the basis for their
postwar plans. As a result, they promoted UMT extensively and
aggressively.
In "Every Citizen a Soldier: The Campaign for Universal Military
Training after World War II," William A. Taylor illustrates how
army leaders failed to adapt their strategy to the political
realities of the day and underscores the delicate balance in
American democracy between civilian and military control of
strategy. This story is vital because of the ultimate outcome of
the failure of the UMT initiative: the birth of the Cold War draft.
