A nation capable of raising, training, and successfully directing 4,000,000 soldiers in a world conflict, should have its own "Military Library," recording for study and reference those principles used in the training of its soldiers and their leadership. In The New Military Library, by Colonel P. S. Bond, U. S. Army and collaborators, we have, for the first time in the history of our country, a truly American Military Library, in keeping with our achievements. Each book in this Library is a new treatment of one or more subjects of the art of war, based on our experience in the World War, and the courses taught at our Service Schools, and the treatment of each subject is coordinated and synchronized with every other subject, making the entire library indispensable to the military student, to all charged with the training or instruction of officers or enlisted men, and to the officer who desires to succeed at the Service Schools. The method of presentation adopted is known as The Applicatory System, now used in the armies of all civilized nations. This New Military Library, which is profusely illustrated with new and clever drawings, consists of the eight books here listed; others will be published later. We recommend these books to every officer and non-commissioned officer in the Army, U.S. Marine Corps, National Guard, and Reserve Corps.
