About the author
Born in Pennsylvania in 1881, he graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1907 and went on to a long Army career. During World War II, he served as historian of Army operations in the European Theater, and he eventually retired with the rank of colonel.
Alongside his military service, he wrote books that combined scholarship with a practical soldier's perspective. His best-known title, The History of the United States Army, was one of the early single-volume histories to cover the Army's story from the Revolutionary era forward.
He also wrote other works, including Soldiers Unmasked and The English of Military Communications. For listeners interested in military history written by someone who knew the Army from the inside, his work offers both broad sweep and an officer's eye for detail.
