Twice the Citizen Richard B Crossland

This book is the only history of its kind, tracing the heritage of the Army Reserve from its colonial militia roots, through its establishment as the Army Medical Corps Reserve in 1908, to its 75th anniversary in 1983. It is a definitive work that will be of ongoing reference value to anyone interested in military affairs and military history.

The book is a readable volume for the general audience; its extensive footnoting and bibliography also make it of value to the serious scholar.
