This engrossing memoir provides unique insight into the mobilization of the United States in the lead up to World War I. The author, a self-described "civilian," recounts his unique perspective on the challenges of preparing the nation for war, from the shortage of trained military personnel to the complexities of providing for the dependents of soldiers. The author's efforts to create a reserve corps of civilians with specialized skills, his role in shaping the War Risk Insurance Act, and his work to alleviate the plight of soldiers' dependents are interwoven with the broader historical narrative of the United States' entry into the war. Through its personal anecdotes and detailed accounts of bureaucratic hurdles, this book offers a valuable glimpse into the complexities of mobilizing a nation for war.
