Secretaries of War and Secretaries of the Army: portraits & biographical sketches

In: CMH Pub 70-12

Abstract

The Center of Military History first published Secretaries of War and Secretaries of the Army: Portraits & Biographical Sketches in 1981 during the bicentennial of the American Revolution and the U.S. Constitution. The book reflected two major themes of the Army's commemoration: the role of the soldier-statesmen of the Revolution in the creation of our government and the constitutional principle of civilian control of the military. This updated printing continues to recognize those twin legacies. The first Secretaries of War were prominent members of the soldier-statesmen generation, and they and their successors have embodied the Founding Fathers' intent to ensure civilian leadership in military affairs.--Provided by publisher
