Seller's Description:
Good in Good jacket. ix, [1], 326 pages. Footnotes. Bibliographical Essay. Index. Ex-library copy with the usual library markings. Sticker residue inside front cover and on the fep. Stamp on top edge. DJ has some wear and soiling. This was published for the Organization of American Historians. John Garry Clifford (1942-26 March 2014) was an American historian and professor of Political Science at the University of Connecticut. Clifford has served on the editorial board of Diplomat History as well as on the editorial board of the Modern War Series of the University Press of Kansas. "The Citizen Soldiers" explores the military reform movement that took its name from the famous Business Men's Military Training Camps at Plattsburg, New York. It also illuminates the story of two exceptional men: General Leonard Wood, the former Rough Rider who galvanized the Plattsburg Idea; and Grenville Clark, a Wall Street lawyer. The Plattsburg camps strove to advertise the lack of military preparation in the United States and stressed the military obligation every man owed to his country. Publicized by individuals who voluntarily underwent military training, the preparedness movement rapidly took shape in the years prior to America's entry into the First World War. Far from being war hawks, the Plattsburg men emphasized the need for a "citizen army" rather than a large professional establishment. Their vision of a citizen army was largely realized in the National Defense Act of 1920, and their efforts helped to establish selective service as the United States' preferred recruitment method. Leonard Wood (October 9, 1860-August 7, 1927) was a United States Army major general, physician, and public official. He served as the Chief of Staff of the United States Army, Military Governor of Cuba, and Governor General of the Philippines. He began his military career as an army doctor on the frontier, where he received the Medal of Honor. During the Spanish-American War, he commanded the Rough Riders, with Theodore Roosevelt as his second-in-command. Wood was bypassed for a major command in World War I, but then became a prominent Republican Party leader and a leading candidate for the 1920 presidential nomination. President William Howard Taft made Wood the Army Chief of Staff in 1910, and Wood held that position until 1914. As Chief of Staff, Wood implemented several programs, among which were the forerunner of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program, and the Preparedness Movement, a campaign for universal military training and wartime conscription. Grenville Clark (November 5, 1882-January 13, 1967) was a 20th-century American Wall Street lawyer, co-founder of Root Clark & Bird (later Dewey Ballantine, then Dewey & LeBoeuf), member of the Harvard Corporation, co-author of the book World Peace Through World Law, and nominee for Nobel Peace Prize. The National Historic Register has called Clark an "international lawyer and legal architect of world organizations, " who was "active in world peace efforts and an advisor in governmental affairs." Further, he was a "drafter of the United Nations Charter, author of A Plan for Peace and co-author of the acclaimed World Peace Through World Law. He was an advisor to four United States Presidents, founder of the Military Training Camp Association (1917) and leader of the Plattsburg movement, and author of the Selective Service Act of 1940. During World War I, Clark helped establish the Citizens' Military Training Camp at Plattsburg, New York and other forms of military preparedness. Citizens' Military Training Camps (CMTC) were military training programs of the United States. Held annually each summer during the years 1921 to 1940, the CMTC camps differed from National Guard and Organized Reserve training in that the program allowed male citizens to obtain basic military training without an obligation to call-up for active duty. The CMTC were authorized by the National Defense Act of 1920 as...
