Bodies for Battle: US Army Physical Culture and Systematic Training, 1885-1957
Garrett Gatzemeyer
Physical training in the US Army has a surprisingly short history. Bodies for Battle is the first in-depth analysis of the US Army's particular set of practices and values, known as its physical culture, that emerged in the late nineteenth century in response to tactical challenges and anxieties over diminishing masculinity.
