Tom Rogers

Thomas B. Rogers has masters degrees in National Security and Strategic Studies, from the U.S. Naval War College, in Education Administration and Counseling at Boston University, and a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and History at California State University, Long Beach. His research interests continue to be International Politics with a specific focus on Military History.

Throughout his professional career, Tom was associated with the United States Army, where he was on military active duty for three years in Vietnam and Germany. As an Army civilian, he served a total of thirty-three years for the Department of the Army, on military posts in the United States, Germany, and Belgium.

His path to writing “Limited War,” associated articles, and university papers, began during his undergraduate research of both the French-Indochina and subsequent Vietnam Wars. After two years, he volunteered for military service, and his knowledge continued to mature during his one-year assignment at the Headquarters, Military Assistance Command-Vietnam (HQ MAC-V) in Saigon. Because of his opportunities to attend various senior-level meetings at the headquarters, he began to develop a high-level understanding of military war strategy, and the sociology of military soldiers and their families in the face of long-term, far-away wars.
