Description: "Arthur L. Wagner was instrumental in pushing the U.S. Army into the twentieth century. From a lackluster beginning at West Point, Wagner went on to become one of the most influential officers of his day, and through his prolific writing he was nearly a household name to his colleagues.".

"Wagner's pioneering work for the army came at a time when many officers preferred the school of experience to formal education. Against the opposition of the army's "old guard", Wagner succeeded in turning the army toward a professional ethic that required diligent study and reflection."--BOOK JACKET.
