Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - United States history books reveal the proud tradition of American soldiers who rose to the top of their military careers and later became prominent senior statesmen at the highest levels of government. Some pundits may argue, however, that military men are unsuited for 'civilian positions in the national security structure' because, soldiers prefer 'bombing'em back into the stone age' rather than using the soft power of diplomacy.1 On the contrary, officers such as George Washington and Dwight D. Eisenhower are just two examples of soldiers who not only possessed a 'military mind' but also displayed effective skills in senior diplomatic posts.2 When discussing soldiers who rose to the top of their military professions and later became senior statesman, it is impossible to ignore the careers of George C. Marshall and Colin L. Powell.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the early years of the Cold War, the United States relied on strategic nuclear attack as the primary means of deterring the Soviet Union. The focus on manned bombers and atomic weapons led to the rise of Strategic Air Command and its leaders, the bomber generals, within the Air Force. The power and influence of the bomber generals peaked in the early 1960s. In the following two decades, Tactical Air Command and the power of fighter generals rose within the Air Force. Mike Worden described this transformation of leadership in his insightful book, Rise of the Fighter Generals-The Problem of Air Force Leadership 1945-1982. Worden argued that fighter pilots rose to preeminence over bomber pilots because the bomber generals failed to adjust to changing realities related to America's failure in Vietnam and a growing conventional Soviet threat. The transition was complete by 1982 when a fighter pilot, General Charles A. Gabriel, became Air Force Chief of Staff. Today, twenty-five years after first assuming top command, fighter pilots continue to lead the Air Force. During the rise of the fighter generals, mobility operations played a significant yet secondary role in airpower strategy. Since the end of the Cold War, however, airlift, airrefueling, and aeromedical evacuation missions flown in support of combat and humanitarian operations have become an indispensable and direct aspect of US grand strategy.
