Table of ContentsReviewsThe Bradley and How It Got That Way is a compelling story told in a concise and crisp manner, linking the development of a weapons system with the doctrinal struggles of its users, the infantry and armored cavalry. The author does an admirable job....to tell a complex story that clearly identifies standardization greed as a systemic problem in the American military-industrial complex. He not only provides a credible synthesis of weapons procurement and doctrinal development, but speaks to a topic that has been sadly neglected in the historical literature, the motorization and mechnization of the infantry. This book marks a fine beginning to a field that deserves more attention and concern by the military history community. -The Journal of Military History The Bradley and How It Got That Way is useful not only as military history, but also as a superb case study in the organizational and policy difficulties of a major government institution adjusting to technological change. -Forum The Bradley and How it Got That Way offers well-documented, balanced coverage of how the US Army struggled with the concept of a mechanized infantry, the doctrinal debates on its employment and the nature of its equipment. The book's thoroughness is an asset. -Military Review ?The Bradley and How It Got That Way is useful not only as military history, but also as a superb case study in the organizational and policy difficulties of a major government institution adjusting to technological change.?-Forum ?The Bradley and How it Got That Way offers well-documented, balanced coverage of how the US Army struggled with the concept of a mechanized infantry, the doctrinal debates on its employment and the nature of its equipment.
