The author seeks to explain the creation of a modern American Army
in a country hostile to centralised military power. The effect of
various European nations on the US military are examined. The
central theme, however, is how a small number of influential
figures impressed with US business borrowed management techniques
from national corporations to modernise the army. It is argued
these military reforms represented a wider influence in the
progressive era which sought to utilise management techniques
developed by US business to improve government.
