What is The downsized warrior : America's army in transition about?

Downsizing Has Become One Of The Defining Phenomena Of The Post-cold War Era, A Trend Affecting Few Sectors Of American Life More Than The Armed Forces. Between 1989 And 1996, The Active Duty Army Was Cut Back By More Than A Third, From 770,000 Soldiers To Fewer Than Half A Million. Additional Cuts Are Virtually Certain To Follow. How Has The Army Implemented This Mandate To Downsize? What Common Threads Exist Between Past Post-war Cutbacks And Today's Redistribution Of The Peace Dividend? How Has Downsizing Affected The Morale, Devotion, And Disposition Of The Army's Officers, Whose Commitment To The Institution Profoundly Determines Its Effectiveness? Crucially, Is It Truly Possible To Institute The Radical Transformation That Downsizing Requires Without Affecting The Army's Ability To Fight And Win Future Wars? As David Mccormick Demonstrates In This Authoritative Volume, The Army's Downsizing Is A Story Of Both Failure And Success. Unable To Make A Persuasive Case For A Larger Force, The Army's Leaders Made Dramatic Reductions, Particularly Among The Officer Corps. Though Executed With Compassion And Precision, These Cuts Have Taken Their Toll, Undermining Morale And Resulting
