This book reflects two major themes of the U.S. Army's commemoration: the role of the soldier-statesmen of the Revolution in the creation of our government, & the constitutional principle of civilian control of the military. This edition continues to recognize those twin legacies. As this volume carries us through the roll of the Secretaries of War & the Secretaries of the Army, it provides insights into the character & background of those who have served as the Army's most senior official. It also honors them for their contributions as eminent leaders in the history of the Army & in the history of the nation. Each secretary is shown in a full-page color portrait.

From the Foreword: This volume provides short biographical sketches of the commanding generals and chiefs of staff who have led the United States Army. Their rise through the levels of leadership to the pinnacle of their profession reveals both striking parallels and equally fascinating contrasts. While their responsibilities have evolved over the years, the essential elements of leadership remain unchanged. The format of this volume combines biographical information along with the officially designated portraits of the commanding generals and chiefs of staff. It also includes brief accounts of the artists selected to paint the official portraits. As an aspect of the Army art program, these portraits add an interesting and revealing dimension to the biographer's words. This volume not only celebrates the legacy of dedication and patriotism left by these leaders, but also enhances our understanding of military leadership at the highest levels. All those interested in the profession of arms should become familiar with those who have led our Army.
