Army Doctrine Reengineering and the Loss of Any Historical Perspective

[selil]

How would you go about creating something like that, with todays tech?

Pretty simple actually. A few companies do exactly this kind of on demand publication for academia. You chose the chapter from a few different books (or many) and they create either a pdf or actual print book for what you need. You can do this all the way down to "book modules" like exercises. Pretty simple once the content is electronic.
