The Soldier Vote
War, Politics, and the Ballot in America
An authoritative examination of how the United States has grappled with the fundamental question of wartime democracy: should soldiers vote, and if so, how?
Drawing on congressional records, military dispatches, and personal correspondence, Inbody traces the evolution of soldier voting rights from the Civil War through the modern era — revealing the political battles that shaped every conflict.
A landmark contribution to the study of civil-military relations and American political history.
