"Professional Military Education in the United States will be valuable to all PME commands. It provides a quick shortcut for junior officers and civilians overwhelmed by unfamiliar acronyms and confusing references to the plethora of military educational institutions, presenting hard-to-find historical background and a concise summary of each institution's responsibilities and vision. (Having it on my bookshelf will save the officers in my department from a lot of questions I would otherwise ask them.)"

Synopsis
This book provides a unique resource on the educational development of the American military profession. With nearly 140 entries from 65 authors, it covers the origins and major evolutionary developments of all major institutions from the Federal service academies and ROTC programs through the Capstone program for newly appointed general and flag officers. It provides sketches of personalities who made significant contributions as well as discussions of important concepts influencing professional military curricula, contentious issues affecting program development, and significant academic practices. Most entries include a brief list of principal sources and a general bibliography is also provided. Simons introduces the historical dictionary with a comprehensive essay that locates most of the topics historically in relation to others.

    This hardback book is of the highest quality, has a fine appearance , arrived in perfect condition, and is an excellent value. On what I was not asked about this time, communicating with the seller would have required using email outside of the eBay system, because they do not accept eBay messages, the book was well packed in a purpose-designed cardboard box, the shipping was faster than I expected for the bound media rate, and the book was exactly as described and pictured.
