520    This book is a history of public information and personal 
       ideas about war and the military over the last century. It
       examines the interplay between popular media coverage of 
       the nation's wars and the perceptions of ordinary 
       Americans regarding military issues. Davidson studied 
       Americans who produced a wealth of proposals to solve some
       of the most pressing military problems of their day. His 
       book consists of hundreds of letters sent to those in 
       charge of the armed forces, advising them on issues 
       ranging from grand strategy to individual combat. Davidson
       sets their letters alongside extract.
