This article presents information on the books "America and Total War," by Fletcher Pratt and "America Can Win," by Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson. These two books are on war from American perspectives. The author of this article reports that Pratt makes the correct observations on the war in Europe and notes the displacement of the infantry-artillery combat team by the armored-air team, the revival of mobility and surprise, and the reappearance of verbal field orders. The book by Wheeler-Nicholson, on the other hand, is treated as a concise document based on realistic military logic.
