Has some marginalia (mostly checkmarks). xvi, 315 pages, 17 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, maps ; 22 cm. . . . . . . . Coleman's book, first published by St. Martin's Press in 19…88, is a critical examination of the ?airmobile revolution,? arguing that while helicopters helped free infantry from the constraints of terrain, they also imposed heavy logistical and maintenance burdens and could not by themselves resolve the fundamental problems of fighting an unconventional war. He suggests that the Army, eager to secure resources and institutional change, oversold the helicopter as a solution, sometimes neglecting the continuing need for protected ground mobility and underestimating how an enemy fighting at close quarters could negate American technological advantages. As a result, the book serves both as a detailed campaign history and as a reflective study of how new technology reshapes doctrine, offering an important companion perspective to later works on the Ia Drang battles and early U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

This book is an autobiography. The author worked for the Texas Agricultural Extension Service during World War 2 studying the War Emergency Program for farm labor placement. Hohn had formulated a philosophy that protection of human resources, in this case migrant and local farm labor, was the surest method of increasing agricultural production. In other states there was a hostility that existed between farmers and the Spanish-speaking American or Mexican migratory families. Dutch Hohn transformed the relationship of these groups by educating the farmer to treat the worker like a human being instead of a commodity, and to give him fair treatment as to housing, living, and working conditions, and by educating the worker to the moral responsibility of giving a fair day's work for a fair day's wage. His was a creative and complex administrative job which mobilized all available public and private community organizations to meet such problems as health, child care, housing, and the construction of reception centers where migrant families could rest, wash, and sleep instead of being driven like animals from pillar to post for weeks on end. The program produced an enormous increase in food which the country needed as much as it needed armaments. It proved that what is sound humanly is also sound financially. Dutch would scramble over canal banks to visit the hideouts of the wetbacks, and make long journeys over the Texas plains to inspect the far-flung reception centers. Thus begun the life's work of Dutch.
