“Dr. Kevin Stringer has brought a much-needed look at some lesser-known aspects of history that helped shape the modern world. The Swiss have an influence on world history that far exceeds their numbers in population….Dr. Stringer has shed some light on nine individuals from the fifteenth to the twentieth century that helps explain the role of Switzerland in history. Dr. Stringer has researched the Swiss-Made Heroes to quite an impressive extent and brought forth some of the best historical reading I have done in years. Swiss-Made Heroes is a well-written, readable, and well-researched historical book that is a great addition to any scholar’s library.”

“The crux of Military Organizations for Homeland Defense and Smaller-Scale Contingencies (SSC) is the notion that the US military can benefit by examining the organizational structures of other militaries by benchmarking best practices for either wholesale adoption or partial emulation. A major corollary to the homeland defense portion of this work is to leverage the US Army National Guard and Reserve to reorganize and re-task these units, exclusively, for protecting the territory of the United States….This book is recommended for both civilian defense experts and military modernizers because it offers a useful and novel benchmarking approach, one that examines several militaries from Europe and elsewhere.”
