  Thomas E. Ricks - The Generals:
American Military Command From World War II To Today
  
  History has been kind to the American generals
of World War II—Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley—and less kind to the generals of the wars that
followed. In The Generals, Thomas E. Ricks sets out to explain why that is. In part it is the story of a widening gulf
between performance and accountability. During the Second World War, scores of American generals were relieved of
command simply for not being good enough. Today, as one American colonel said bitterly during the Iraq War, “As
matters stand now, a private who loses a rifle suffers far greater consequences than a general who loses a
war.”
  
  In The Generals we meet great leaders and suspect ones, generals who rose to the occasion and
those who failed themselves and their soldiers. Marshall and Eisenhower cast long shadows over this story, as does the
less familiar Marine General O. P. Smith, whose fighting retreat from the Chinese onslaught into Korea in the winter of
1950 snatched a kind of victory from the jaws of annihilation.
  
  But Korea also showed the first signs of
an army leadership culture that neither punished mediocrity nor particularly rewarded daring. In the Vietnam War, the
problem grew worse until, finally, American military leadership bottomed out. The My Lai massacre, Ricks shows us, is
the emblematic event of this dark chapter of our history. In the wake of Vietnam a battle for the soul of the U.S. Army
was waged with impressive success. It became a transformed institution, reinvigorated from the bottom up. But if the
body was highly toned, its head still suffered from familiar problems, resulting in tactically savvy but strategically
obtuse leadership that would win battles but end wars badly from the first Iraq War of 1990 through to the present.
  
  Ricks has made a close study of America’s military leaders for three decades, and in his hands this
story resounds with larger meaning: about the transmission of values, about strategic thinking, and about the difference
between an organization that learns and one that fails.
