Where Searle tends to fall down is that he has remarkably little to say about tank theory in the U.S. Army, which one would consider rather relevant. I would at least think that the process that led to emergence of the M4 "Sherman" would be important, considering what an icon that machine is. Nor will you find commentary on the U.S. military's operational revolution of the post-Vietnam era, which one might think significant, seeing as "Air-Land" Battle was the doctrinal foundation of the wars waged in Iraq. I would have at least expected a couple of pages each to be devoted to Jacob Devers (the first substantive commander of the U.S. Armored Force) or Donn Starry, the responsible figure behind the doctrinal revolution of the 1970s, and a notable historian of armored warfare in his own right.
