DESCRIPTION:How did the US Army emerge as one of the most powerful politic
 al organizations in the United States following World War II? In Warriors 
 in Washington: Henry Stimson\, the US Army\, and the Politics of American 
 Power in World War II\, Grant H. Golub asserts that this remarkable shift 
 was the result of the Army’s political masters consciously transforming 
 the organization into an active political player throughout the war. Led b
 y Henry Stimson\, the Secretary of War and one of the most experienced Ame
 rican statesmen of the era\, the Army energetically worked to shape the co
 ntours of American power throughout the war\, influencing the scope and di
 rection of US foreign policy as the Allies fought the Axis powers. The res
 ult saw the Army\, and the military more broadly\, gain unprecedented leve
 ls of influence over US foreign relations. As World War II gave way to the
  Cold War\, the military helped set the direction of policy toward the Sov
 iet Union and aided the decades of confrontation between the two superpowe
 rs.\nSpeakers:\nGrant Golub (U.S. Army War College)
