I have been thinking about how I can narrow my thesis topic down and make it more manageable. As I have said, I am going to be looking at the the US Officer Corps and trying to explain how this group developed a unique sense of community. I have begun to think that I should focus on the role the written word played in developing this community. I will be drawing upon Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities, which deals with nationalism, but I think that some of his arguments can be applied to the US Officer Corps. I hope to have another update soon.
