After the costly, bitter stalemates in Korea and Vietnam, the Army makes a dizzying transition to a new kind of outfit built on the twin towers of capability and courage. A revolution in recruitment, training, and high-tech equipment builds an awesome force made to vanquish the communist juggernaut anywhere in the world. The investment pays off in the collapse of the Soviet Union and the crushing of Iraqi aggression in the Gulf War.
