Richard B. Crossland & James T. Currie. The U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) had its official birth on April 23, 1908, in an act “To Increase the Efficiency of the Medical Dept. of the U.S. Army.” From this modest beginning & limited mission, the Army Reserve has grown into a force of almost a million men & women who are very much a part of today’s Army. This is the first comprehensive, book-length history of the Army Reserve. The title is taken from Winston Churchill’s statement that “The Reservist is twice the citizen.” Includes 10 chapters on the history of the Army Reserve, 8 appendices with statistics on the Army Reserve, & 9 tables. Over 100 black & white photos.
