Title: The Old Army
Review: Huzzah for Coffman's account of the U.S.Army between Spain and Pearl Harbor. Not only does he trace the organizational evolution of the Army, but he includes many personal accounts of careers in the service to life on posts for the children. It is easy to forget that for forty years American soldiers served in China, the Philippines, and Panama. Coffman also describes the Army educational system at the Command and General Staff School and the War College that developed the leaders of World War II. This account is very comprehensive yet entirely readable.
