About the author
Used as an author credit, United States. War Department refers to the former U.S. Cabinet department responsible for the Army, not to one individual person. Created in 1789, the department oversaw military administration until 1947, when the National Security Act reorganized the armed services and its functions moved into the new defense structure.
Because of that role, the name appears on a wide range of books and documents: army regulations, training manuals, wartime reports, engineering instructions, and historical records. Many of these works were practical by design, written to guide soldiers and officers, but today they also serve as valuable historical sources on American military policy and daily military life.
Readers picking up a title by this "author" are really reading an official government publication. That gives the work a distinctive voice: formal, purposeful, and closely tied to the needs of its time.
