Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. 1954 Case Study -- Chapter 3. 1962 Case Study -- Chapter 4. 1976 Case Study -- Chapter 5. 2008 Case Study -- Chapter 6. Conclusion.

This book argues that the US Army has made four significant shifts in the content of its capstone operations doctrine along a spectrum of war since the end of WWII: 1) in 1954 it made a shift from a doctrine focused almost exclusively on mid-intensity conventional warfare to a doctrine that added significant emphasis to high-intensity nuclear warfare; 2) in 1962 it made an even greater shift in the opposite direction toward low-intensity unconventional warfare doctrine; 3) in 1976 it shifted back to an almost exclusive focus on mid-intensity conventional warfare content; 4) and this is where Army doctrine remained for 32 years until 2008, when it made a doctrinal shift back toward low-intensity unconventional warfare - five and seven years into the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan respectively. Closely tracking each of these shifts, the author zooms in on specific domestic, international and bureaucratic politics that had a direct impact on these shifts. Dr. David C. Rasmussen is a retired US Army Infantry Lieutenant Colonel. He earned his PhD in political science from the City University of New York Graduate Center in 2018. He has been a visiting professor for Ashford University, Queens College, and the State University of New York at New Paltz. Dr. Rasmussen currently works as a Department of the Army Civilian planning specialist for the US Army Installation Management Command, in the Garrison Directorate of Plans, Operations, Training, and Security at the US Military Academy, West Point, NY.
