Excerpt from Military Servitude and Grandeur Alfred de Vigny having expressed the desire that his works never be preceded by a preface, or a critical study of any kind, one can but respect the wishes of the great French poet, and refer those anxious to know more of his history to the writings of Messieurs St. Beuve, Ratisbonne, Brunetiere, Lemaitre, France, etc. The book on our own great war has not been written. We are still too close to events to see them in their just light. Time and meditation will be necessary to produce such a volume. But, anxious that the American public should better comprehend how pure and profound are the sources of French patriotism, I have asked the George H. Doran Company to publish this volume. Though first brought out in 1885, it contains so much that is analogous to the spirit that has inspired our modern heroes that it might almost be called a war book.

This brand new edition of The US Military Profession into the Twenty-First Century re-examines the challenges faced by the military profession in the aftermath of the international terrorist attack on the United States on September 11, 2001. While many of the issues facing the military profession examined in the first edition remain, the 'new war' and international terrorism have compounded the challenges. The US military must respond to the changed domestic and strategic landscapes without diminishing its primary function—a function that now many see that goes beyond success on the battlefield. Not only has this complicated the problem of reconciling the military professional ethos and raison d’etre with civilian control in a democracy, it challenges traditional military professionalism. This book also studies the notion of a US military stretched thin and relying more heavily on the US Federal Reserves and National Guard. These developments make the US military profession increasingly linked to public attitudes and political perspectives. In sum, the challenge faced by the US military profession can be termed a dual dilemma. It must respond effectively to the twenty-first century strategic landscape while undergoing the revolution in military affairs and transformation. At the same time, the military profession must insure that it remains compatible with civilian cultures and the US political-social system without eroding its primary function. This is an invaluable book for all students with an interest in the US Military, and of strategic studies and military history in general.

Excerpt from Servitude Et Grandeur Militaires The important question is, What kind of literature is to be chosen for reading and translation 7 To this question I have already given my answer undoubtedly it is desirable to set a high standard from the beginning, and to challenge the powers of the pupil by putting before him well-chosen selections from the best authors, rather than to entice his sympathy with easy and amusing literature. If the teacher tries to amuse his pupils and make the time pass quickly, he will fail to awaken their interest in the subject; but, if he appeals to their intelligence from the first, appreciation will quickly grow. It is with this object that the present series is being undertaken - a series in which certain modern standard French works, of various kinds, have been chosen, and edited with the smallest possible number of notes, mostly on points of literary and historical interest.
