About the book >.>.> Their kettle-shaped helmets lent a medieval aspect to the horse soldiers clattering out of the twilight. The year was 1940 the occasion a pre- paredness parade the helmets actually those of the 1917-1918 style. Yet to a small boy catching his first glimpse of America’s army as it readied itself for the new war the pennantlike guidons drooping in the chill damp evening as well as the metallic headgear seemed to represent old wars rather than new a military past yet more remote than the Mexican border skirmishes for which the troopers were in fact outfitted. In the early part of that year of the German Blitzkrieg the American army was antique…. [It] had not yet completed the transi- tion that would make it an appropriate instrument of its country’s claims to world power. (MP)
