Description: Harold Winton's biographical study of the role of a progressive thinker who approached the issue of armored doctrine with a moderate's concern for achieving what could be achieved rather than what the visionaries dreamed of is a valuable reminder that we must practice the art of the possible. Many factors internal to an army and external to it affect how doctrine and its supporting equipment is developed.
