Wraps. Presumed first edition/first printing. v, [1], 19, [3] p. 23 cm. Illustrations. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "Ethnic conflict is an ascendant phenomenon replacing ideology as a social force most likely to promote violence and regional instability. The ferocity of ethnic violence and its potential for escalation increase the political pressures for U.S. leadership and collective engagement. The U.S. Army has a direct interest in ethnic-based conflicts because land power is the dominant means for intervention through coalition peacekeeping and peace-enforcement operations. Major General William A. Stofft was the Commandant of the U.S. Army War College. He is the coeditor of the book, America s First Battles, 1776-1965. His early career included such assignments as deputy province senior adviser, Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. In March 1985 he was selected for Brigadier General and appointed the Chief of Military History on the General Staff in Washington, DC." Very good. No dust jacket.
