Zusammenfassung:"In Send In the Reserves!, Andrew Chadwick looks at the evolution of army reserve forces over the past century and a half of warfare using a mixture of archival sources, historical field manuals and press reports, memoirs, and secondary sources. Chadwick examines the U.S. Army National Guard and the Israel Defense Forces' army reserve, because a focus on these two service units provides valuable insights into training, methods, and experiences. In doing so, he identifies a core--and often overlooked--challenge in contemporary defense policymaking: how does one build and maintain effective army reserve forces at an affordable cost and in a way that does not cause undue stress on reservists' civilian lives?"
