This volume is a collection of original essays specifically prepared for this anthology. As editor, I wish to express my gratitude to each of the contributors who agreed to tackle a difficult and often polemic subject. Researching the military is inherently difficult and even dangerous. Many colleagues and friends read parts of the manuscript and made numerous helpful comments. I am especially grateful to Professors Roy Christman and Richard Lane of San Jose State for their many editorial suggestions. My parents Panos and Athanasia Danopoulos; my brother George, his wife Niki and their two children, Panos and Soula; my aunt Areti Paraskevopoulou; and my koumbaro George Nikoletopoulos have provided boundless support and love. Special thanks are also in order for my in-laws Francis and Gladys, Dean James Walsh, and Leticia A. McCart. Vanetia Johnstons expert typing and cheerful disposition contributed to the completion and the aesthetic quality of the book. Amy Eisenbergs patience and sound editorial guidance made my job a lot easier. Last but not least, my wife Vickie and our two boys, Panos and Andreas, deserve special praise for their willingness to put up with my long hours of seclusion and absence from family affairs. Though helpful, none of these people bear any responsibility for any mistakes and deficiencies associated with the project. Responsibility for the accuracy and scholastic quality of what follows belongs to the contributors and myself.
