General & Mrs. Earle Wheeler: Their Rise to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Amid America's Descent into Vietnam (Military Leadership in Action)

General & Mrs. Earle Wheeler takes readers inside the White House, the Pentagon, and the household of the most senior officer of the U.S. Armed Forces. Since the position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was established in 1949, only 20 officers have attained this pinnacle of the U.S. military profession. Each of their stories is remarkable, yet the biography of perhaps the most distinguished member of this small, elite fraternity has only now been written.
