Acknowledgments I began framing the chapters of this book while on a visiting research fellowship through Oxford University’s Changing Character of War program. I enjoyed the better part of a year at Nuffield College, which afforded me access to Oxford’s vast research facilities and a collegial environment in which to work. My warmest thanks go to Sir Hew Strachan, Rob Johnson, Andrea Baumann, and Sibylle Scheipers, whose perspectives greatly enriched my own. I would also like to thank my friends and colleagues from the Society of Military History, many of whom gave of their valuable time to consider or debate some of the points in this study. All were helpful in that special way the society has of encouraging the research of its members, but Bianka Adams, Conrad Crane, Brian Linn, Randy Papadopoulos, Jill Russell, and Janet Valentine deserve particular mention. I am also grateful to Don Jacobs of Georgetown University Press for his professionalism in preparing this manuscript for publication. Last and never least, my deepest appreciation goes to my family, whose patience was limitless over the long months I spent writing this book. To my wife Laurie and our children I owe a debt I can never repay. This page intentionally left blank ...
