Getting It Right, Second Edition: American Military Reforms After Vietnam and into the 21st Century James Dunnigan 2.º edición

This is the second edition of a book about a little understood subject, the dramatic reform of the American military, and particularly the U. S. Army, between the end of the Vietnam war and the Persian Gulf war of 1990-91. The second edition material carries the study through the 1990s and a few years beyond. We cover a lot of subjects that few Americans are familiar with. The reforms after Vietnam were more driven by the results of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war and paid for by defense spending increases begun by president Carter. The end of the Cold War ended up creating a need for more reforms.
