In this first volume of a series on the intricacies of military command, Clancy traces the organizational success story of the U.S. Armys rise from the slough of Vietnam to the heights of victory in the Persian Gulf.

One cannot help but wince when a civilian tells him, You and those boys did that for nothing. And for all the acronyms and military history, that is what this book is about healing the wounds Vietnam inflicted. But this time [the Gulf War], it was going to end differently. They all would see to that. From Library JournalHaving conquered the best sellers lists in both the fiction and nonfiction arenas, Clancy now offers the first in a series of historical accounts of American military leaders in times of war.

Description:
Fascinating . . . Alison Weir does full justice to the subject.--The Philadelphia InquirerAt his death in 1547, King Henry VIII left four heirs to the English throne his only son, the nine-year-old Prince Edward the Lady Mary, the adult daughter of his first wife Katherine of Aragon the Lady Elizabeth, the teenage daughter of his second wife Anne Boleyn and his young great-niece, the Lady Jane Grey. In this riveting account Alison Weir paints a unique portrait of these extraordinary rulers, examining their intricate relationships to each other and to history. She traces the tumult that followed Henrys death, from the brief intrigue-filled reigns of the boy king Edward VI and the fragile Lady Jane Grey, to the savagery of Bloody Mary, and finally the accession of the politically adroit Elizabeth I.As always, Weir offers a fresh perspective on a period that has spawned many of the most enduring myths in English history, combining the best of the historians and the biographers art.Like anthropology, history and biography can demonstrate unfamiliar ways of feeling and being. Alison Weirs sympathetic collective biography, The Children of Henry VIII does just that, reminding us that human nature has changed--and for the better. . . . Weir imparts movement and coherence while re-creating the suspense her characters endured and the suffering they inflicted.--The New York Times Book Review
