Fore Armed How to Build a Citizen Army
FOREWORD Since many citizens of the United States have become convinced of the necessity of preparedness'against war, this book is presented in order to make available information as to the methods in use in other countries, where preparedness has long been accepted in principle and practice. From the experience of other nations, we may receive the light wherewith to resolve our own problem. Out of a study of the defense-service of other peoples, American citizens can decide which plan, if any,
...best suits our race and our traditions. No system of citizen soldiery was evolved in a day. Undoubtedly legislators and staff officers will have to experiment largely with different schemes before our people are satisfied with results. If we begin on the right principle, however, it is safe to assume that American business sense will gradually build up a defensive organization commensurate with the needs of our menaced position.Table of Contents CONTENTS; PAGE; Foreword 9; The Swiss Military System 13; The German Military System 37; The French Military System 59; The Australian Military System 73; The English Military System 90; The New Era in Warfare 105; ' The Strategic Position of the United States 122; The Instinct of Defense 146; What Shall We Do? 163About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
