Distinguished military historian Dr. Brian McAllister Linn delivers a lecture on "The Army's Way of War," based on his seminal book, "The Echo of Battle: The Army's Way of War." Dr. Linn surveys how the US Army historically anticipates future conflicts and analyzes past ones. He identifies three competing intellectual traditions within the officer corps—the guardians, the heroes, and the managers—and argues that these conflicting internal philosophies often lead the Army to prepare for wars it seldom fights, while ignoring those it must actually wage.
