Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xv, [1], 551, [7] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Index. Michael R. Gordon was the chief defense correspondent for The New York Times. Michael R. Gordon is the chief military correspondent for The New York Times. During the first phase of the Iraq war, he…was the only newspaper reporter embedded with the allied land command under General Tommy Franks. He and General Bernard E. Trainor have written two books together. As a journalist for The New York Times he was the first to report Saddam Hussein's alleged nuclear weapons program in September 2002. Bernard E. Trainor (born September 2, 1928) is a journalist and a retired United States Marine Corps lieutenant general. He served in the Marine Corps for 39 years in both staff and command capacities. After retiring from the Marine Corps, he began working as the chief military correspondent for the New York Times. He was also a military analyst for NBC. In a unique combination of journalism and military expertise, The authors provide a definitive, behind-the-scenes account and analysis of the planning and execution of the Persian Gulf War. Drawing on interviews with senior allied officials in the Persian Gulf, Western Europe, and the United States, The Generals' War offers portraits of top military commanders, as well as new disclosures about the conflicts and power struggles within the anti-Iraq coalition and the American high command. The Air Force believed that wars could be decided through strategic bombing. The Army saw the war as an opportunity to apply its doctrine of maneuver warfare. The Marine Corps approached the Gulf with a history of expeditionary warfare and amphibious assault. The Navy preferred to act on its own. General Colin Powell and General H. Norman Schwarzkopf were tasked with developing a unified plan from these separate; they never fully harmonized the war plans. Three and a half years after what was considered a decisive victory, some of the same Iraqi Republican Guard forces that the allies had failed to destroy again menaced Kuwait, forcing American troops back to the Persian Gulf to prevent a second Iraqi invasion. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xvi, 551, [7] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Index. This has two inscriptions on t-p, written to General Rowny. The inscription written by Michael R. Gordon reads "To Gen. Rowny, Best Wishes Michael R. Gordon". The inscription written by Bernard Trainor r…eads "With warm personal respect to a great American "Mike" Trainor Lt. Gen. USMC (Ret)". Michael R. Gordon has been a national security correspondent for The Wall Street Journal since October 2017. Previously, he was a military and diplomacy correspondent for The New York Times for 32 years. During the first phase of the Iraq War, he was the only newspaper reporter embedded with the allied land command under General Tommy Franks, a position that "granted him unique access to cover the invasion strategy and its enactment". He and General Bernard E. Trainor have written three books together, including the best-selling Cobra II. Gordon and Judith Miller were the first to report Saddam Hussein's alleged nuclear weapons program in September 2002 with the article "U.S. Says Hussein Intensifies Quest for A-Bomb Parts." Bernard E. Trainor (September 2, 1928 June 2, 2018) was an American soldier and journalist and a United States Marine Corps lieutenant general. He served in the Marine Corps for 39 years in both staff and command capacities. After retiring from the Marine Corps, he began working as the chief military correspondent for The New York Times. He was subsequently a military analyst for NBC. With Michael R. Gordon, he was the author of three accounts of American wars in Iraq, The Generals War; Cobra II; and Endgame. Edward Leon Rowny (April 3, 1917 December 17, 2017) was a United States Army lieutenant general of Polish extraction. He was a commanding officer in World War II and Korea, a military advisor to five United States presidents and a negotiator on the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. Rowny graduated from the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, an engineering high school, in 1933. Rowny earned a Bachelor of Science from Johns Hopkins University in Engineering, and held degrees from West Point, Yale (MAs in Engineering and International Affairs) and American University (Doctor of Philosophy in International Studies). Rowny commanded troops in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. After the 92nd Infantry Division suffered heavy casualties in the invasion of Italy in 1944, Rowny was brought in as a battalion commander that drove the Germans up the Western coast of Italy until the end of the war. A day after the end of World War II in Europe, he was assigned to planning the invasion of Japan. Assigned to General Douglas MacArthur, Rowny became MacArthur's spokesman and one of the planners of the landing of Inchon (September 15, 1950), which forced a North Korean retreat and enabled the taking of Seoul. Rowny air dropped a bridge to cross a chasm permitting the rescue of the surrounded Marines and Army troops at the Chosin Reservoir. He was in charge of the evacuation of United States troops which rescued one hundred thousand North Koreans who wished to join South Korea. During the Vietnam War, Rowny tested the helicopter as a platform for the Army to fight insurgency. Subsequently, as deputy chief to General Andrew P. O'Meara he was in charge of relocation of NATO troops from France. In 1971 Rowny was appointed the US representative to Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) and held this post under three presidents: Nixon, Ford and Carter. He also served as the NATO Deputy Chairman of the Military Committee from 1971 to 1973. In June, 1979 he retired from the Army in protest over President Carter's signing of the SALT II Treaty which he believed would undermine United States security. After the election of President Reagan, General Rowny was appointed to the rank of Ambassador as the President's chief negotiator on Strategic Nuclear Arms (START). During his second term, President Reagan appointed Rowny his Special Advisor on Arms Control. He was awarded the Presidential.
