"Scales on War is a collection of ideas, concepts, and observations about contemporary war taken from over thirty years of research, writing, and personal experience by retired Maj. Gen. Bob Scales. Each chapter addresses a distinct topic facing the upcoming prospects of America's military, including tactical ground warfare, future gazing, the draft, and the role of women in the infantry.

The consequences of a learning and adaptive enemy has been a continuous string of battlefield defeats.

It tells of three generations of service by a family that, beginning with two World War II officers, spawned six decades of service to the Nation. General Scales and his wife, Diana, have lived through twenty nine military moves, a near death experience in Vietnam, seven year’s separation and eleven overseas assignments, to forge a partnership of service very rare in America today. These pages tell in vignette style a piece of military history from early days in the Philippines, through post war Germany, Vietnam and Cold War Europe. Scales’ career from West Point cadet to general officer offers a view of military life unique to a culture increasingly forgotten today.

This book was released on 2005-09-28. The Iraq War available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In this unprecedented account of the intensive air and ground operations in Iraq, two of America's most distinguished military historians bring clarity and depth to the first major war of the new millennium. Reaching beyond the blaring headlines, embedded videophone reports, and daily Centcom briefings, Williamson Murray and Robert Scales analyze events in light of past military experiences, present battleground realities, and future expectations. The Iraq War puts the recent conflict into context. Drawing on their extensive military expertise, the authors assess the opposing aims of the Coalition forces and the Iraqi regime and explain the day-to-day tactical and logistical decisions of infantry and air command, as British and American troops moved into Basra and Baghdad. They simultaneously step back to examine long-running debates within the U.S. Defense Department about the proper uses of military power and probe the strategic implications of those debates for America's buildup to this war. Surveying the immense changes that have occurred in America's armed forces between the Gulf conflicts of 1991 and 2003--changes in doctrine as well as weapons--this volume reveals critical meanings and lessons about the new "American way of war" as it has unfolded in Iraq.
