CHAR ROONE MILLER is Assistant Professor of Government and Politics at George Mason University. Professor Miller's articles have appeared in edited collections and scholarly journals.

"Taylored Citizenship is an important book. Its potential audience should extend beyond political theory's continentalists to include scholars in public administration, and American politics, as well as educators, historians, and organization theorists. Political theorists, in particular, should benefit from consideration of Miller's compelling use of historical research and his documentation of actual military and educational practices. His mapping of actual policies and practices lends his thesis a compelling rhetorical weight that will surprise theorists who rely only on books and ideas. Finally, Taylored Citizenship is a book that needs to be slipped onto the desks of the many who argue for more civic virtue, more civil society, and all who would involve public processes in the crafting of citizenship."-American Political Science Review
