Military, War, and Society in Modern American History is a new series that showcases original scholarship on the military, war, and society in modern U.S. history. The series builds on recent innovations in the fields of military and diplomatic history and includes historical works on a broad range of topics, including civil-military relations and the militarization of culture and society; the military’s influence on policy, power, politics, and political economy; the military as a key institution in managing and shaping social change, both within the military and in broader American society; the effect the military has had on American political and economic development, whether in wartime or peacetime; and the military as a leading edge of American engagement with the wider world, including forms of soft power as well as the use of force.
