In the Shadows of Victory II by Thomas D. Phillips PDF Summary

Book Description: Profiles of twenty US military leaders—unsung heroes whose accomplishments have been too little acknowledged and too seldom celebrated. The military history of the United States is replete with examples of leaders whose singular leadership is now little remembered or forgotten completely. This volume covers more than twenty leaders “in the shadows” during the four major conflicts the United States engaged in from the end of the nineteenth century to the middle years of the twentieth: the Spanish-American War, the Philippine Insurrection, World War I, and World War II. To enable readers to put these exploits into proper context, each chapter traces the roots of the conflict covered and discusses the paths that led to America’s involvement. Throughout the book, examples are also noted of leaders whose major renown is associated with a specific war—John J. Pershing, America’s towering military figure during World War I, for example—who also rendered exemplary though largely forgotten service during a different conflict—in Pershing’s case, the Philippine Insurrection. Of special interest to many audiences may be the commentaries regarding the World War I services of officers such as Eisenhower, Marshall, Patton, and Bradley—an aspect of their long military careers overshadowed by their World War II renown and too often minimized in consequence. The book also features brief biographies of officers whose contributions, while perhaps a bit less consequential than those of colleagues chronicled elsewhere in these pages, are deserving of far more recognition than has thus far been accorded them. “A worthwhile read for anyone interested in military leadership.” —The NYMAS Review
