| Summary: | Scales on War is a collection of ideas, concepts and observations about contemporary war taken from over thirty years of research, writing and personal experience by retired Major General Bob Scales. Each chapter addresses a distinct topic facing the upcoming prospects of America's military, including tactical ground warfare, future gazing, the draft and the role of women in the infantry. Fusing all of these topics together is Scales' belief that, throughout its history, the United States has favored a technological approach to fighting its wars and has neglected its ground forces. |
