Goethals (1858-1928) played a substantial role in bringing to a conclusion a decades-long process of military reform that stretched from late-nineteenth-century experiments with postgraduate military education to the ultimate realization of the potential of those reforms immediately before and during World War II. Rory McGovern uses Goethals's career as a lens through which to examine the transformation of the US Army in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Goethals, George W. $q (George Washington), $d 1858-1928. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x History $y 20th century. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x History $y 19th century. 610 10 $a United States. $b Corps of Engineers $b Corps of Engineers $x History $y 19th century. 610 10 $a United States. $b Corps of Engineers $b Corps of Engineers $x History $y 20th century. 600 17 $a Goethals, George W. $q (George Washington), $d 1858-1928. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00195066 610 17 $a United States. $b Army. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533532 610 17 $a United States. $b Corps of Engineers. $b Corps of Engineers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00534195 611 27 $a World War (1914-1918) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180746 650 0 $a Generals $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a Panama Canal (Panama) $x Design and construction. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Transportation $z United States. 650 7 $a Generals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939841 650 7 $a Transportation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155007 651 7 $a Panama $z Panama Canal. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01243650 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190605020100.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=69A8B9BA875711E9A56C064497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
