ABSTRACT

While the 1960s was an unusually good decade for students of civil-military relations, one must not neglect earlier contributions that have made more recent studies possible. Among pioneer studies of Western civil-military relations, on which newer studies of developing nations have built, were, in chronological order, Alfred Vagts, The History o f Militarism (New York: Norton, 1937), Katherine Chorley, Armies and the Art o f Revolution (London: Faber & Faber, 1943), Hans Speier, War and the Social Order (New York: G.W. Stewart, 1952), Morris Janowitz, The Profession­ al Soldier and Political Power: A T heoretica l Orientation and S e ­ lected H ypotheses (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Institute of Public Administration, 1953), Stanislaw Andrzejewski, Military Organization and Society (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1954), and Samuel P. Huntington, The Sold ier and the State: The T heory and Politics o f Civil-Military Relations (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1957).
