A series of four essays relating to the methods and matter of the USA's Army's WWII history series. There was no separate Air Force in those days so the Air Corps history is also discussed. But these essays deal with the scope of the larger work, and then an essay about a small action demonstrating the detail in which the USA's records can reduce the fog of war, if a description of a small action is called for, the overall goals in WWII, relating to the narrow interests of the Army, the way in which the experience of WWII changed the army's organization and finally, general observations about the larger role of the army in WWII.
Though a slim volume there is a lot of information here for the historian and histologist. ( )
