    • Abstract:
      The author responds to criticism of his article "Mind and Matter--Cultural Analysis in American Military History: A Look at the State of the Field." Lee does admit that his article became somewhat Americanized as a result of his being forced to edit huge amounts of writing for space's sake. Therefore, he thanks Reid, Milner, and Farrell for their calls to bring a more international perspective to the debate. Lee also acknowledges that his strengths are in American and European history during the Colonial period and land based military history. He admits to slighting naval and military air force history as they are not part of his academic strengths.
