The First World War marked a key turning point in America's involvement on the global stage. Isolationism fell, and America joined the ranks of the Great Powers. Civil-Military relations faced new challenges as a result. Ford examines the multitude of changes that stemmed from America's first major overseas coalition war, including the new selective service process; mass mobilization of public opinion; training diverse soldiers; civil liberties, anti-war sentiment, and conscientious objectors; segregation and warfare; Americans under British or French command. Post-war issues of significance, such as the Red Scare and retraining during demobilization are also covered. Examining the complex relationships among the U.S. government, the U.S. military, and the civilian population in wartime and peacetime, this series includes coverage of major and minor wars as well as interwar periods in which significant military developments or controversies occurred. After a brief overview of the period, each volume delves into important issues, such as the dilemma of a civilian-controlled military, changing civilian perceptions of the armed forces, the line between dissent and disloyalty, and the tradition of the citizen soldier. Important documents and a detailed bibliography round out the volumes.
