This two-volume work, edited by Tucker (retired, Virginia Military Institute), provides assessment of the effectiveness and ineffectiveness of American civilian and military leaders in ten wars through the presentation of case studies of key battles and biographies of significant figures making decisions at the strategic and operational levels of military conflicts. In chronological order, the wars under consideration are the American Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American and Philippine-American Wars, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the US wars in the Middle East since 1991. For each, the volume includes an overarching introductory essay, four to eight case studies of battles, 25 to 40 biographies discussing individual leaders contributions to war, and a short list of further readings. Where particular individuals played important roles in more than one war, separate biographies have been included that highlight the particular contributions to the specific conflict being discussed.
