Foreign Language Education in the U.S. Armed Forces: A Pictorial History of DLI

This pictorial history of DLIthe Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Centerprovides a comprehensive look into the evolution of our Nations effort to understand the languages and cultures of friends and foes alike since the days leading up to World War II. Cameron Binkley has compiled a masterful work based on his insights as deputy command historian of the Institute and his unique background as a historian and veteran. No single work so succinctly and colorfully describes the development of DLI throughout the decades since its inception. I encourage you to enjoy this book as it brings to life the wonderful faculty, staff, and students who have served this Nation in times of peace and war.
