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

This pictorial history of DLI the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center provides a comprehensive look into the evolution of our Nation s 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.
