Rising Through the Ranks:. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2009, Pages: 72
The book examines the evolving role of American women in the military, contrasting the Vietnam War experiences with those of the Persian Gulf War, and including the Panama, Libya, and Grenada military actions. Beginning with the historical tradition of women in the United States military, the book focuses on changes in American society brought about by the Women's Rights Movement and America's involvement in Vietnam and how both affected women in the military. A discussion of the aftermath of the Persian Gulf War will concentrate on the Presidential Commission on the Assignment of Women in the Armed Forces and concludes with an analysis of the Commission's findings and the subsequent effects on American women in the military. The results of these wartime experiences and the findings of the Presidential Commission can be seen in today's American military women.
