How did the US Army emerge as one of the most powerful politicalorganizations in the United States following World War II? In this book,Grant H. Golub asserts that this remarkable shift was the result of theArmy's political masters consciously transforming the organization intoan active political player throughout the war. Led by Henry Stimson, the
Secretary of War and one of the most experienced American statesmenof the era, the Army energetically worked to shape the contours ofAmerican power throughout the war, influencing the scope and direc-
tion of US foreign policy as the Allies fought the Axis powers. The resultsaw the Army, and the military more broadly, gain unprecedented levelsof influence over US foreign relations. As World War II gave way to the
Cold War, the military helped set the direction of policy toward theSoviet Union and aided the decades of confrontation between the twosuperpowers.
