The American Way Of War

---

One of the most distinguished books of military history ever written. The American Way of War has provided countless readers with a firm understanding of the evolution of U.S. military strategy and policy Continuously in print for more than thirty years, the book examines American strategy from George Washington to the Vietnam War. Weigley's analysis is as cogent today as ever. If there are two kinds of military strategy that of attrition and that of annihilation-American wealth and its adoption of unlimited aims in war soon gave preference to the latter. Once American military power became great enough to make possible the destruction of the enemy, a central theme of the history of American strategy became the problem of securing victory at a tolerable cost. As technological and social developments blunted the ability of warfare to produce decisive results, and even limited victories threatened to demand an intolerable cost, war was seen by many as a less acceptable means for the pursuit of national goals. Yet the preservation of national values continues to demand that the use of combats remain an option available to makers of national strategy, as it has throughout the history that Weigley so vividly recounts.
