In the Shadows of Victory II: America’S Forgotten Military Leaders, the Spanish-American War to World War II

The forgotten military leaders of America are given the attention they deserve. American history has enshrined an exceptional few military leaders in the public’s collective consciousness while sometimes ignoring others often equally as deserving, relegating them to footnotes. This book is about those who have been overlooked; military leaders whose accomplishments have been too little acknowledged and too seldom celebrated. It covers leaders in the shadows during the four major conflicts the United States engaged in from the late 19th century to the mid-20th: the Spanish-American War, the Philippine Insurrection, World War I, and World War II. AUTHOR: During 36 years in the military, Tom Phillips led an isolated unit through a terrorist episode, ran a think tank for the Commander-in-Chief Strategic Air Command, served as the Director of the Air Force Personnel Readiness Center during Operation Desert Storm, and led some of the first American troops into Sarajevo. Following his military service, Phillips worked as a university administrator before beginning a full-time writing career. Tom is a graduate of Air Command and Staff College and Air War College. 30 illustrations
