History and Military History (Part 3)

The continuing review of the U.S. Army Chief of Staff’s Professional Reading List

Welcome back to our series covering the U.S. Army Chief of Staff’s Professional Reading List. This list serves as a foundation for soldiers and Army civilians but also offers readers from all corners with strategic insights and a deeper understanding of the profession of arms. Although the reading list is dated, the current Army Chief of Staff (CSA), General Randy A. George, has included warfighting articles from Army journals, podcasts, and videos to augment the library of professional material.

In Part 3 of our History and Military History series—one of six core categories—we focus on the Great War, the interwar years, and World War II in Europe, captured in five works that illuminate the strategic setting, decisions, outcomes, and critical lessons from these conflicts that continue to influence our world today.
