Provides a unique resource on the development of the American military's educational efforts.

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.

Of value to the collections within the military training establishment and larger collections elsewhere emphasizing military studies or international affairs.—Choice

^IProfessional Military Education in the United States^R 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.)—Army History
