Twice the Citizen: A History of the U.S. Army Reserve, 1908-1995 (Department of the Army Pamphlet 140-14)xxii, 680 pp. "The United States Army Reserve originated on April 23, 1908, the result of lessons learned from the Spanish-American War and the realization that the Regular Army could not provide enough medical personnel to take care of needs of an expanded wartime force. It's beginnings were quite modest: commissions as first lieutenants were initially given to 160 Army contract physicians who became the first members of the federal reserve corps. From that small beginning has grown the modern day Army Reserve of thousands of units and hundreds of thousands of well-trained men and women."Keywords: TWICE CITIZEN AMERICAN HISTORY MILITARY US ARMY RESERVE 1908-1995 SIGNED

James T. Currie relates in this thought-provoking work that between July 4, 1863, and the end of the Civil War in May 1865, Vicksburg and the plantations around it were an enclave of Union territory in the heart of the Confederacy. He also identifies many of the problems confronting the city during the late 1860s and indicates the means through which solutions were sought. The book is an intensive examination of Vicksburg and Warren County for the seven years from 1863 to 1870.

From the Congressman who killed a waiter because of bad service to the most serious decisions on national policy, Currie's book offers a comprehensive and eminently readable account of two hundred years of the House of Representatives. The strength of Currie's book is its style: appealing to the general public, while at the same time offering a solid, factual history for the student and scholar. This is by far the best history of the House, offering in one volume a narrative study supplemented by a judicious selection of documents from the original sources.

This book is the only history of its kind, tracing the heritage of the Army Reserve from its colonial militia roots, through its establishment as the Army Medical Corps Reserve in 1908, to its 75th anniversary in 1983.  It is a definitive work that will be of ongoing reference value to anyone interested in military affairs and military history.  The book is a readable volume for the general audience; its extensive footnoting and bibliography also make it of value to the serious scholar.
