Description: "Offers comprehensive analysis of the characteristics that constitute effective leadership in war, as well as exceptionally vivid demonstrations of how wartime relationships between civilian and military leaders shaped each conflict and the overall history of the United States. Coverage of important figures in each wartime era ranges beyond a strict focus on politicians and soldiers to include advisers, policy experts, journalists, business leaders, industrialists, and antiwar leaders"--Page 4 of cover.
