| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "Storming the City explores that intersection of urbanization and improving military capabilities by analyzing the performance of the US Army and US Marine Corps in urban combat in the mid-twentieth century. Alec Wahlman focuses on American tactical performance in four major urban battles (Aachen 1944, Manila 1945, Seoul 1950, and Hue 1968), providing a sample set across three wars and two decades. he assesses each battle using a similar framework of capability categories, and separate chapters address urban warfare in American military thought. Wahlman poses a central three-part question: when the need arose to fight in urban terrain in the mid twentieth century, how effective were US forces, why were they effective, and how did that performance change from World War Two to Vietnam?"
