    General Lesley J. McNair: Little-Known Architect of the U.S. Army By [Copyright 2012] Mark T. Calhoun Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Dr. Theodore A. Wilson ________________________________ Dr. Robert F. Baumann ________________________________ Dr. Christopher R. Gabel ________________________________ Dr. Jeffrey P. Moran ________________________________ Dr. Brent J. Steele Date Defended: April 6, 2012 The Dissertation Committee for Mark T. Calhoun certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: General Lesley J. McNair: Little-Known Architect of the U.S. Army ________________________________ Dr. Theodore A. Wilson Date approved: April 6, 2012 ii ABSTRACT General Lesley J. McNair demonstrated an innovative spirit and exceptional intellectual capacity in his efforts to organize and train the U.S. Army for World War II. The influence he exerted on Army doctrine, training, equipment development, unit organization, and combined arms fighting methods placed him among the handful of generals most responsible for both the effectiveness and the flaws of the force that the United States sent to war in 1942. Through his strong views and aggressive leadership, McNair played a key role in guiding the Army’s interwar mechanization and doctrinal development efforts. Many studies of this period have described aspects of his participation in that process. However, no comprehensive study of McNair’s forty-year military career exists, largely because he did not survive the war, and he left behind no personal memoirs or diaries when he died of wounds inflicted by errant American bombs in Normandy on July 25, 1944.

It must be appreciated that the allied nations won the war due to overwhelming superiority of natural resources and nan-power, of which the united States contributed the maximum end products and accompanying jobs which ultimately determined the destruction of the Axis Forces.

ABSTRACT From November 1942 until May 1945, the Allied nations fought a series of campaigns across the Mediterranean. Ever since, historians have debated the role and impact of the Mediterranean theater upon the greater war in Europe. Through analysis of official archival documents, unit histories from the period, and personal memoirs, this dissertation investigates the impact of US Army service forces on each of the campaigns and operations conducted across the Mediterranean theater. Additionally, this study examines how the campaigns of the Mediterranean shaped and informed the 1944 landings in France and the subsequent drive into Germany. This dissertation argues that the Normandy invasion of 1944 and victory over Germany did not just happen. The success that the Allied forces enjoyed in France and Germany had its foundation set in the learning and experiences of the Mediterranean that began in November 1942.
