"Ten years in the making, Presidents of War is a fresh, intimate, irresistibly readable narrative of how a procession of Chief Executives took the nation into major conflicts, mobilized Americans for victory and seized greater power for themselves. Beschloss's findings in original letters, diaries, and declassified documents, and his interviews with surviving participants in the drama, allow him to bring us into the room and into the minds of these men as they make the most difficult decisions that face any President, at times sending hundreds of thousands of American men and women to their deaths. From James Madison and the War of 1812 to Lyndon Johnson and Vietnam, we see these leaders struggling with Congress, the courts, the press, their own advisers, and antiwar protesters; seeking comfort from their spouses, families, and friends; and dropping to their knees in prayer. We come to understand how these Presidents were able to withstand the pressures of war--both physically and emotionally--or were broken by them. Presidents of War combines this sense of immediacy with the overarching context of two centuries of American history. Through his rich and vivid storytelling, Beschloss shows how far we have traveled, from the time of our Founders, who tried to constrain presidential power, to our modern day, when a single leader has the potential to launch nuclear weapons that can destroy much of the human race."--Dust jacket

The confluence of events at the Naval War College has raised anew questions about our purposes and programs. As this is written, we are developing our logic for the impending Congressional field nearing at the College by a committee chaired by Congressman Ike Ske1ton of Missouri. This Committee will ask us to explain our plans to meet the requirements of the Goldwater-Nichols legislation for increased "jointness."

During the last 25 years, the United States has been the leading actor on the international stage. Responding to direct threats to global and regional peace and stability, American policymakers and military forces have been employed throughout the world to protect our interests and those of our friends and allies

Most military officers like to refer to themselves and to their occupation in terms of "professionalism." They like to consider themselves experts in a field that, according to one definition of professional, demands "advanced study in a specialized field." Indeed, the raison d'etre of the Naval War College is the professional development of of­ficers. This is, as any true professional will recognize, far too narrow a definition although advanced and continuing study throughout one's career is essential to professionalism.

The Naval War College, since the days of Capt. A. T. Mahan, has borne a special responsibility for encouraging creative thought with regard to the strategic and tactical application of maritime power. Today, the requirement for creativity and innovation is especially demanding in view of the new ships, aircraft, weapon systems, and sensors now in the fleet or entering production-all this at a time when the political, economic, and military context in which the U.S. Navy must function is changing with astonishing rapidity.

A plenary meeting of the International Committee of the Red Cross has elected its future President. Its choice was Mr. Alexandre Hay of Geneva, Vice-Chairman of the Board of the Swiss National Bank, and member of the ICRC.

As the 1975-76 academic year draws to a close, it seems most appropriate to reflect briefly on what the College is, what it does, and where it is going. First of all, the College is today-as it has been since 1884-the Navy's senior institution dedicated to the advanced professional military education of care­fully selected naval officers who spend 10 months here in the company of outstanding colleagues from the other services and from other nations. The College's business, like that of other graduate-level institutions, is teaching and research.

About a year ago I wrote in these pages that before coming co the Naval War College I had heard some criticism of the curriculum's emphasis on the lessons of history to the neglect of preparation for the present. I found, I noted then, that a judicious balance has been struck between both needs. I went on to discuss our recurring themes as they illuminate problems that have historically taxed the genius of our states­men and military men and that need continual resolution in every age. I described the way the study of these themes is integrated into, indeed constitutes almost half of, our 10-month curriculum.

Presidents have played a major role in shaping Florida, whether waging wars, protecting the environment, seeking votes, or just attracting media attention to the state's attractions. Presidents and Florida looks at the role presidents have played in Florida from playing golf to fighting Indians.
