Description: The two-volume Chief of Staff examines the history, development, and role of the military duty position of the chief of staff.
Review Quotes: "David Zabecki has edited a splendid two-volume work on chiefs of staff, that linch-pin position on the military staff where, as Moltke put it, is done 'that meticulous and anonymous work that wins wars.' Those he has chosen perfectly illustrate the profoundly important role of 'the chief' in leading and harmonizing the efforts toward a 'fully integrated, high performing staff.' . . . This work should be a permanent fixture at staff and war colleges throughout the profession."--Maj Gen. William A. Stofft, USA (Ret.), Commandant of the U.S. Army War College, 1991-94
