Total War and Cold War Problems in Civilian Control of the Military Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Total War and Cold War: Problems in Civilian Control of the Military

With one exception, the papers which comprise this book were read at a conference on civil - military relations held at Ohio State University under the auspices of the Mershon National Security Program on February 27 - 28, 1959. After the conference, the authors revised and in some cases enlarged their papers for publication. Professor William Emerson, of Yale University, read a paper on Franklin D. Roosevelt as Commander in Chief, but owing to the pressure of other academic commitments, he was unable to put his paper into publishable form. In place of Professor Emerson's paper, another on the same subject by Maurice Matloff of the Office of the Chief of Military History, Headquarters, Department of the Army, has been substituted.
