Death Ground: Today's American Infantry in Battle

â‚¬Å“An informative and thought-provoking history of recent infantry operations with reasoned glimpses of its possible future.â‚¬Â
â‚¬â€œDR. SHAWN WHETSTONE
Military Heritage

â‚¬Å“This is [Colonel Bolgerâ‚¬s] most significant work to date, important both for students of the contemporary U.S. Army and for general readersâ‚¬â€œ even those normally uninterested in military affairs. Bolger documents the infantryâ‚¬s change over the past sixty years from a mass force of citizen soldiers to a small body of elite professionals. He presents each currently existing type of infantryâ‚¬â€œparatroopers, air assault, mechanized, light, rangers, and marines. . . . In each case study, Bolger emphasizes the quality and preparation, making it quite clear that will without skill and motivation without competence are certain routes to disaster. . . . While praising todayâ‚¬s infantry as the best the country has ever fielded, Bolger raises the prospect that the U.S. military, by emphasizing technology and economy, will leave the country with an elite infantry too small to sustain heavy losses and too specialized to be quickly replaced.â‚¬Â
