Few books could be more timely than Brian Linn's The Echo of Battle: The Army's Way of War. Linn has written a serious and comprehensive intellectual history of the U.S. Army. He traces Army thought from the American Revolution to the war on terrorism. It is hard to imagine a scholar more suited to take on the task...Linn's overview of the Army's efforts to deal with the new world disorder is unparalleled., I expect this book to stir considerable controversy and healthy debate. Younger officers may well come to view it as a Bible of sorts. I expect it to sell very well at the Army's educational institutions where I have been recommending it since reading the first chapter. It has the potential to transform professional thinking in the most positive way. This book demonstrates Linn's mastery of the language of the profession in readable English, something all too rarely seen., [A] remarkable new history of how the army anticipated future wars and analyzed past ones...Linn's assessment of army thought in the post-Cold War era is especially enlightening. This is an exceedingly well-crafted book that belongs on all shelves supporting the history of the U.S. military tradition.

Synopsis
In the face of radically new ways of waging war, Brian Linn surveys the past assumptions - and errors - that underlie the army's many visions of warfare. He explores the army's forgotten heritage of deterrence, it's long experience with counter-guerrilla operations, and it's successive efforts to transform itself.
