In Peace and War: A History of the US Military.
Beginning just before the Revolutionary War and
ending in the present, this course examines the US
military experience in times of both peace and
conflict. Students will read relevant literature,
explore historic approaches to war, US military
institutions, military leadership, and
civilian-military relations against the backdrop
of US history more generally. In addition, this
class considers works of military history, theory,
and scholarship that long pre-dates the United
States as important context for understanding our
own military's evolution. Reading ranges across
disciplines and genres, including political
science, international relations, biography, and
war and battle narratives.
