Where it came from
Published in 1993, Getting It Right: How the U.S. Military Has Fared Since Vietnam was authored by James F. Dunnigan, a prominent military analyst and prolific designer of wargames. The book emerged during a period of intense public reflection on the role and performance of the United States armed forces in the post-Vietnam era, arriving just as the military was re-evaluating its doctrine following the success of the Gulf War.
Dunnigan leveraged his deep background in systems analysis and military history to produce a critical assessment of the organizational and technical evolution of the U.S. military. His writing style, characteristic of his work in both analytical non-fiction and tabletop gaming, focused on empirical data and clear-eyed critique, aiming to strip away the political narrative to examine how the military truly functioned as a bureaucratic and tactical machine.
