Under the Shadow of Napoleon: French Influence on the American Way of Warfare from Independence to the Eve of World War II (Warfare and Culture)
"This is one of the most compelling works to date on the early and ongoingdevelopment of a professional US Army... For these reasons, and despite the flaws of its overall thesis, I highly recommend Under the Shadow of Napoleon. Studies of the intellectual history of the US Army are few and far between, and Bonura's thorough,well-written account of tactical level developments can be placed alongside the strategic studies byRussell Weigley and Brian Linn. That's not bad company." Thomas A. Bruscino Jr., US Army School of Advanced Military Studies, Michigan War Studies Review (MiWSR.com)
