by William J. Crowe Jr. (Author)
As his memoir, The Line of Fire, makes clear, quick change has been a constant in Admiral William J. Crowe's career - a fast flight up the chain of command that began just after World War II at the height of the Cold War, reaching its apex with the thaw and the beginning of a new era in foreign relations.
As never before, Crowe's memoir explains the world of political maneuvering that lies behind military decision-making.
