The Combat Studies Institute (CSI) of the US Army Command and General Staff College has prepared this list of books. The intention is to help members of the profession of arms grow professionally and personally by providing this key to information, insights, and collective wisdom. This list of books, of course, is by no means exhaustive. The titles included were selected by CSI faculty members with an eye to providing a representative number of high quality works across a broad spectrum of subjects.
