Item description from seller

373, notes, appendices, index, some soiling to fore-edge, DJ soiled and worn: small edge tears/chips. The need to create ready reserve forces. Foreword by Lewis B. Hershey. The author argues for the need to organize and train a citizen army in time of peace, and points to the Spanish-American War as an example of the dangers of neglecting the military training of citizens (p. 144). "Had it not been for the miserable condition of the Spanish navy, that war might have lasted a year longer and cost many more lives.".
