Más información sobre el libro

The U.S. Army War College, established in 1901, trains elite career officers in advanced strategy and national security policy, focusing on the interplay between military and civilian governance. With a curriculum that emphasizes practical exercises and simulations, the institution aims to prepare officers for complex roles in modern warfare and diplomacy. Judith Stiehm, a notable author and recipient of the U.S. Army Distinguished Civilian Service Medal, critically examines whether the college effectively equips its students to meet contemporary expectations of military performance and accountability.
