The Generals

American Military Command From World War II to Today
Dec 15, 2012SirWhiskers rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
This book examines some serious issues with how the US Army trains and promotes its officers, focusing on those in the highest ranks. Ricks does a good job documenting some of the problems, but I feel he focuses too much on relief and reassignment, too little on how the army trains, educates, and prepares its officers, and on the problems of leadership in voluntary wars. The book is worth reading, but left me feeling the author ultimately misses the mark.
