'œHolley does many things well in General John M. Palmer. He analyzes Palmer's complex personality with care and follows his influence on men and events with caution. He describes Palmer's thinking on UMT with precision and detail, and he shows how Palmer's historical writing did not rise above the selective 'lessons learned' that characterizes most history written by professional officers. ... General John M. Palmer is critical reading for anyone interested in the politics of military manpower.'' The Journal of American HistoryI. B. Holley is the author of 'General John M. Palmer, Citizen Soldiers, and the Army of a Democracy (Contributions in Military Studies)', published 1982 under ISBN 9780313231216 and ISBN 0313231214.
