The U.S. Army has always regarded preparing for war as its peacetime role, but how it fulfilled that duty has changed dramatically between the War of 1812 and World War I. J. P.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Harvard Dead in the War Against Germany, Vol. 1 In this first volume of Memoirs of the Harvard Dead only those thirty men are included whose deaths occurred before the United States entered the European War, April 6, 1917.

To answer these questions is the purpose of Carl Schorske's study.
