Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. E5 - A first edition (First printing stated with same date) hardcover book SIGNED and inscribed Matthew Moten to previous owner on the half-title page in very good condition in very good dust jacket that is mylar protected. Dust jacket has les…s than an inch tear on the back bottom left corner, wrinkling, chipping and crease on the edges and corners, some scattered light stains, rubbing and scratches, light discoloration and shelf wear. Book has some bumped corners, some scattered scuffing and light stains on the page edges, some light discoloration and shelf wear. 9.5"x6.25", 443 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. SINCE WORLD WAR II, the United States has been engaged in near-constant military conflict abroad, often with ill-defined objectives, ineffectual strategy, and uncertain benefits. In this era of limited congressional oversight and "wars of choice," the executive and the armed services have shared the primary responsibility for making war. The negotiations between presidents and their generals thus grow ever more significant, and understanding them becomes essential. Matthew Moten traces a sweeping history of the evolving roles of civilian and military leaders in conducting war, demonstrating how war strategy and national security policy shifted as political and military institutions developed, and how they were shaped by leaders' personalities. Early presidents established the principle of military subordination to civil government, and from the Civil War to World War II the president's role as commander-in-chief solidified, with an increasingly professionalized military offering its counsel. But General Douglas MacArthur's insubordination to President Harry Truman during the Korean War put political-military tensions on public view. Subsequent presidents selected generals who would ally themselves with administration priorities. Military commanders in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan did just that - and the results were poorly conceived policy and badly executed strategy. The most effective historical collaborations between presidents and their generals were built on mutual respect for military expertise and civilian authority, and a willingness to negotiate with candor and competence. Upon these foundations, future soldiers and statesmen can ensure effective decision-making in the event of war and bring us closer to the possibility of peace. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. x, [2], 443, [1] pages. One illustration noted. Notes. Index. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Minor DJ wear and soiling. Colonel Matthew Moten is professor and deputy head of the Department of History at the United St…ates Military Academy. A graduate of West Point, he has served in the U.S. Army for over twenty-seven years, including assignments in the Pentagon, Germany, Kuwait, and Iraq. He specializes in the history of American political-military relations. His recent publications include an essay entitled "A Broken Dialogue: Rumsfeld, Shinseki, and Civil-Military Tension," in American Civil-Military Relations: The Soldier and the State in a New Era and a short monograph entitled The Army Officer's Professional Ethic-Past, Present and Future. He is currently writing a history of American political-military relations. Colonel Moten holds a doctorate in history from Rice University and is author of The Delafield Commission and the American Military Profession. Derived from a Kirkus review: Military historian Moten, former head of the history department at West Point, traces the long struggle of presidents to assert their power over recalcitrant generals. Moten beautifully exposes the battles and the alliances between men controlling the country's future. Certainly, Abraham Lincoln was all over the spectrum, with his inability to get George McClellan to do much of anything offset by Ulysses Grant's effective action. The author explains the workings of war, the effects and dangers of standing armies, and the growth of the president's Cabinet-level military advisers. All presidents admit that war, once begun, takes on a life of its own, but generals who begin to make policy overstep their duty. Gen. Douglas MacArthur is a prime example. Harry Truman suffered his arrogance. Moten doesn't mince words regarding MacArthur. The author's opinions are precise and witty and based on comprehensive knowledge of his subject, as he clearly demonstrates how wars are lost by the arrogant and/or incompetent. A brilliant picture of how wars badly begun and poorly run can affect an entire country-usually at the hands of just a few men.
