        Studies in Civil-Military Relations

        This series publishes original manuscripts, imparting a variety of valuable perspectives, that analyze the myriad interactions between governments, militaries, and societies. The series is global in scope, multidisciplinary in approach, and accessible in presentation, providing an intellectual home for the best and newest research on civil-military relations across a broad spectrum of case studies and comparative frameworks. The editorial approach is as inclusive as possible, with the common theme being a work’s special contribution to an informed understanding of civil-military relations.

        William A. Taylor is the Lee Drain Endowed University Professor of Global Security Studies and department chair at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, he holds an MA degree in history from the University of Maryland, an MA degree in national security studies from Georgetown University, and MPhil and PhD degrees in history from George Washington University. Taylor is the author or editor of seven books, including most recently The All-Volunteer Force: Fifty Years of Service (University Press of Kansas); Peace, War, and Partnership: Congress and the Military since World War II (Texas A&M University Press); and The Advent of the All-Volunteer Force: Protecting Free Society (Routledge).
