Book excerpt: In 1959, the United States Air Force Academy's Department of History began the Harmon Lecture Service on Military History in memory of Lt. Gen. Hubert R. Harmon, first superintendent and "father" of the Academy. The series support two goals - to further encourage the awakened interest in military history that evolved after World War II and to stimulate cadets to develop a lifelong interest in the history of the military profession. This collection of the first thirty Harmon Memorial Lectures reflects the evolution in scholarship of prominent scholars working in military history over the past three decades.
