The History and Success of American Generals

About this book

The Nimitz Lecture series hosts a wide array of distinguished and nationally recognized public figures who are scholars, professional military persons, or government officials--either foreign or domestic--for a series of lectures on national security affairs. This volume examines why U.S. generals were more successful in World War II than in Korea, Vietnam, or Afganhistan and looks specifically at General O.P. Smith as a case study.
