A significant contribution to understanding how the U.S. Army organized, trained, and prepared for war., A significant contribution to understanding how the U.S. Army organized, trained, and prepared for war.--Edward G. Miller, author of Nothing Less than Full Victory: Americans at War in Europe, 1944-1945, Weaver has written an absorbing book that includes fascinating details about the pre-war National Guard, its relations with the Regular Army, and the uncomfortable amalgamation of the two caused by the national emergency.

Synopsis
An inventive study of relations between the National Guard and the Regular Army during World War II, Guard Wars follows the Pennsylvania National Guard's 28th Infantry Division from its peacetime status through training and into combat in Western Europe. The broader story, spanning the years 1939-1945, sheds light on the National Guard, the U.S. Army, and American identities and priorities during the war years. Michael E. Weaver carefully tracks the division's difficult transformation into a combat-ready unit and highlights General Omar Bradley's extraordinary capacity for leadership--which turned the Pennsylvanians from the least capable to one of the more capable units, a claim dearly tested in the Battle of the Hürtgen Forest. This absorbing and informative analysis chronicles the nation's response to the extreme demands of a world war, and the flexibility its leaders and soldiers displayed in the chaos of combat., This absorbing and informative analysis chronicles the nation's response to the extreme demands of a world war, and the flexibility its leaders and soldiers displayed in the chaos of combat., An inventive study of relations between the National Guard and the Regular Army during World War II, Guard Wars follows the Pennsylvania National Guard's 28th Infantry Division from its peacetime status through training and into combat in Western Europe.

Hard to believe a seller with 175K transactions under their belt still makes rookie mistakes. No tracking, no communication after one message, just not professional. Item was supposedly shipped but never arrived. Refund (and a long-winded, flimsy explanation) came after I simply inquired about the whereabouts of my item. Leads me to think they never sent it in the first place. I've had successful deals with these people in the past, but I don't enjoy playing their brand of eBay roulette.
