Inhaltsangabe

Proconsuls were generals who exercised extraordinary powers of command in the wars that led to Rome's rise as an imperial power. Today, there has been much talk of the increasingly prominent role of proconsular-style officials. This is the first systematic analysis of American proconsular leadership from the Spanish-American War to the present.

'Lord sensitively and skilfully outlines a detailed blueprint for how such newly organized Defense Department proconsulships might avoid any resemblance to a colonial office or German general staff.' Victor Davis Hanson, Claremont Review of Books
