The U.S. Army in World War I offers a focused historical collection on the Army's transformation during the Great War, tracing its movement from a small prewar force to a modern mass army engaged in global conflict. Combining institutional history, operational narrative, and military analysis, the volume situates American participation within the broader context of coalition warfare, industrial mobilization, and the emergence of twentieth-century military practice. Its discussions of training, logistics, command, combat, and the American Expeditionary Forces illuminate both the achievements and strains of wartime expansion. Produced by the United States Army Center of Military History, with Eric B. Setzekorn's scholarly contribution, the work reflects the strengths of official military historiography: careful documentation, strategic perspective, and attention to organizational development. The collection aligns with a long tradition of public history and military scholarship dedicated to explaining how institutions adapt under pressure. Together, these voices examine World War I not merely as a battlefield episode, but as a formative moment in American military identity. This volume is recommended for students, historians, service members, and general readers seeking a concise yet authoritative entry into America's role in the First World War. It provides a valuable opportunity to engage with multiple dimensions of military experience—policy, leadership, operations, and memory—within a single accessible work. Readers will find it educational, interpretive, and useful for understanding the war's enduring institutional legacy. This enriched edition has been carefully crafted to add value to your reading experience. - Hand-picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance.
