Intended by the publisher, according to the preface, as \"an extra dividend on its series, United States Army in World War II.\" From the preface: \"Decision has always exerted a powerful attraction for the student of military affairs. In the study of decision in war, whether on the field of battle or in the councils of state, lie the great lessons of the conflicts that have shaped the course of history. These lessons the professional soldier seeks in order to fit himself for the ultimate responsibilties of command; the student of human affairs seeks them to explain past events. The historians writing the history of the United States Army in World War II have had a unique opportunity to study the decisions of that conflict. It is not designed to be a comprehensive treatise on decision making. Chosen and arranged in chronological order, these studies are complete in themselves. Chapters include: Germany First: The Basic Concept of Allied Strategy; The German Decision to Invade Norway and Denmark; Decision to Land U.S Forces in Iceland; Japan's Decision for War; Decision to Evacuate the Japanese from Pacific Coast; Decision to Withdraw to Bataan; Decision to Invade North Africa; U.S. Merchant Shipping and the British Import Crisis; Persian Corridor as a Route for Aid to the USSR; Overlord vs. The Mediterranean at the Cairo-Tehran Conferences; Macarthur and the Admiralties; Hitler's Decision on the Defense of Italy; General Lucas at Anzio; General Clark's Decision to Drive on Rome; The 90-Division Gamble; The Anvil Decision: Crossroads of Strategy; General Bradley's Decision at Argentan; Logistics and the Broad Front Strategy; The Decision to Launch Operation Market-Garden; German Counteroffensive in the Ardennes; Luzon vs. Formosa; Decision to Halt at the Elbe; Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb.","brand":"Office of the Chief of Military History, United States Army","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31300623171654,"sku":"2298310","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2298310.jpg?v=1578547376","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/command-decisions","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
