Product Information
Huelfer examines the casualty issue in American military thought and practice during the years between the World Wars. He argues that Americans exhibited a distinct aversion to combat casualties duirng the Interwar Period, a phenomenon that visibly influenced the military establishment and helped shape strategic planning, force modernization, and rearmament for World War II. In a broad topical approach, Huelfer's main theme--casualty aversion--is woven into discussions about military strategy and policies, doctrinal and technological development, the military education system, and how the American officer corps emerged from World War I and prepared for World War II. As Huelfer makes clear, aversion to combat casualties is not just a post-Vietnam War phenomenon, but rather has long been embedded within the American national heritage. Conventional wisdom link today's exacerbated aversion to combat casualties as fallout from the Vietnam debacle. In fact, this Vietnam Syndrome has remained at the forefront of contemporary strategic thinking. Huelfer shows that American political and military leaders have held lasting concerns about risking soldiers' lives in combat, even pre-dating U.S. involvement in World War II. The grim experiences of World War I had a profound impact upon the U.S. officer corps and how it viewed potential future conflicts. The casualty issue permeated the officers' strategic culture during the Interwar Period and colored their thinking about improving training, doctrinal evolution, force modernization, and technological development. Even though one cannot find the terms casualty issue, casualty aversion, or sensitivity to casualties directly stated in the speeches and writings of the era, this awareness clearly emerged as a subtext for the entire American effort in preparation for World War II. Huelfer highlights how casualty aversion shaped American strategy for World War II by incorporating ideas about the use of overwhelming force, air power, and mechanization--all designed to minimize losses.

Reviews
"This well-researched book takes readers on a tour of strategic, tactical, and organizational policies formed between 1919 and the opening events of WW II. Each chapter enables readers to better understand the Victory Plan: how WW II was fought, and why....This exceptionally sophisticated book is very welcome. Highly recommended." Choice, "[A]dds a much-needed and unique element to the existing scholarship on American military history between the world wars....[H]uelfer's book will prove useful to anyone interested in American military history between the world wars." The Journal of Military History, "In The "Casualty Issue" MAj. Evan Huelfer, a former history instructor at West Point, makes a compelling argument that America's aversion to accepting casualties in any conflict is deeply rooted in the experience of World War I, and not, as one might today assume, entirely a reaction to the war in Vietnam. This book is all the more interesting when viewed against the growing casualty lists from our current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and the public reaction to them." Army History, "Anyone interested in the interwar years period or in how military institutions affect change should read this clearly written and well-documented book." The Journal of American History

Book well protected in large box, with brown paper inside to protect the book. Great job of protecting the new book, as described. Appreciate the effort by Seller. Book is Grizzly 399: World's Most Famous Mother Beat, The by Thomas D. Mangelsen. Beautiful book, and tells how Mangelsen spent time photographing and getting to understand Grizzly 399 and her cubs, esp. the four cubs she had in 2020. Very good text, and the pictures are close up, nothing short of spectacular.
