From Lexington and Gettysburg to Normandy and Iraq, wars have defined the United States. But after the guns fall silent, the army searches the lessons of past conflicts, developing the strategies, weapons, doctrines, and commanders that it hopes will guarantee future victory. Linn surveys the past assumptions--and errors--that underlie the army's many visions of warfare up to the present day.

Première monographie consacrée à cet écrivain américain particulièrement novateur, Ceci n’est pas une tragédie présente l’ensemble de son œuvre, de 1956 à 2007. David Markson renouvelle la forme romanesque pour dire quelque chose de notre époque, de la fragmentation de sa culture, de son questionnement, de ses triomphes et de ses échecs. Depuis son roman parodique du Far West et les romans policiers des années 1960, ou encore ses expériences avec l’écriture sous contrainte dans les années 1970, jusqu’aux récits les plus récents, dont La Maîtresse de Wittgenstein et Arrêter d’écrire, Markson joue avec la forme romanesque, qu’il parodie, fragmente et redéfinit. Proche de la monodie de la tragédie grecque, mais sans la cohérence d’un cosmos balisé, sa voix narrative dresse un pacte autobiographique particulier, dépassant l’individu, dans le monde incertain d’après la Shoah. Entre l’hyper-roman à la manière d’Italo Calvino et le murmure beckettien d’une voix proche du silence, Markson trouve une expression singulière, troublante, intime : celle de nos aspirations et de nos doutes. Ceci n’est pas une tragédieis the first monograph dedicated to the particularly innovative American writer David Markson and includes all his work from 1956 to 2007. David Markson updates the form of the novel to make a statement about our era, the fragmentation of its culture, the questions being asked and its successes and failures. From his parody of the western and his detective novels of the 1960s, or his experiences with constrained writing in the 1970s, to his most recent narratives, amongst them Wittgenstein’s mistress and This is not a novel, Markson plays with the form of the novel, parodying, fragmenting and redefining it. Close to the monody of Greek tragedy, but lacking the coherence of a well-defined universe, his narrative voice establishes a particular autobiographical pact, which goes beyond the individual, in the uncertain Post-Holocaust world. Between what Italo Calvino…

As the U.S. Army transforms its operating force, inevitably the institutional Army-the "generating force" that fills and sustains the Army's combat units-must change as well. The Army must transform its institutional activities to (1) align them with operating forces in ways that improve support, and (2) release resources from institutional activities that the Army can use to add new brigades and weapon systems. This document describes a way for the Army leadership to negotiate and establish performance goals for institutional activities that give the Army effective control over the alignment
