The long-held assumptions about the Soviet strategic threat to the US, which formed basic defense posture for 40 years, have changed, forcing the US Army to reassess its mission, doctrine, and structure for the coming decade at least. Nineteen contributions (revised presentations from a conference held November 1989 at Tufts U.) examine such issues as high-, mid-, and low-intensity conflict, military doctrine, SDI, special operations, arms control, basing concerns, demographics and recruitment, force moderation, and readiness. Although the CIP data asserts the contrary, there is no index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
