IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTClosing With the Enemy: How GIs Fought the War in Europe, 1944-1945 has been named to the U.S. Army Chief of Staff’s Professional Reading List. “The Professional Reading List is a way for leaders at all levels to increase their understanding of our Army’s history, the global strategic context, and the enduring lessons of war,” Army Chief of Staff General Peter J. Schoomaker said of the carefully chosen works. According to General Schoomaker’s office: “In this book, Michael Doubler explains how and why the U.S. Army was generally successful in overcoming … many challenges. Soldiers and junior leaders will benefit from his incisive study of the battlefield resourcefulness, flexibility, and determination of the American Soldier.” Inclusion on this list places Closing With the Enemy among the best works available on the history of the U.S. Army and makes it recommended reading in support of the Army’s professional military education system. To view the complete list, go to www.army.mil/cmh-pg/reference/CSAList/CSAList.htm.
Since America's earliest origins, citizen-soldiers have been vital to the nation's defense. At crucial moments in American history, militiamen, volunteers, National Guardsmen, Reservists, and draftees have helped to form the armies required to fight and win our nation's wars. Today, National Guard and Reserve citizen-soldiers are extending this hallowed tradition with their service in the war on terror. Welcome to my website which seeks to promote the historical role of the American citizen-soldier through my writings, speeches, and appearances. My hope is both to educate and entertain. There is something here for everyone, from policy makers and professional historians to anyone wanting to know more about citizen-soldiers and American military history. Thank you for visiting, and I'll look forward to hearing from you. And please return soon to enjoy the frequent updates!
