Product Information
One of the most fascinating but least remembered figures in modern American history, Major General Leonard Wood (1860-1927) was, with his close friend Theodore Roosevelt, an icon of U.S. imperialism as the nation evolved into a global power at the dawn of the twentieth century. The myriad of roles that Wood played in his extraordinary career offer a mirror image of the country's expansion from the urban Northeast to the western frontier to Latin America and the Far East. Boston surgeon, Indian fighter, U.S. Army Chief of Staff, Medal of Honor winner, commander of the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War, Governor General of the Philippines, and presidential candidate, Wood was one of a select cadre of men that transformed the American military at the turn of the century, turning it into a modern fighting force and the nation into a world power.Throughout his life, Wood tested the division between military and civilian power to its very limits. His 1920 presidential campaign and his conflicts with civilian politicians were harbingers of the struggles that Generals Douglas MacArthur and Dwight D. Eisenhower would face as they moved from the battlefield to Washington following World War II.Jack McCallum has mined Wood's extensive personal records--including diaries, correspondence, and photographs--to create a vivid portrait of a complex man and the legacy he left on U.S. imperialism. America's rapid conquest of Cuba and the Philippines and the subsequent political and economic reconstruction it imposed under Wood's military supervision in these regions have important parallels to current U.S. involvement in the Middle East, both in its successes and its failures.

Reviews
"Wood receives his due in a fine biography. . . . All sides of the general are presented." - Washington Times, ( "In this day and age of warfare followed by nation-building, Wood's career may hold some lessons for today's generals." )-( St. Louis Post-Dispatch ),(), "Wood receives his due in a fine biography. . . . All sides of the general are presented." - Washington Times ,, "This very servicable book deserves attention, especially by those contemplating the prospects of the current American empire." - London Review of Books ,, "The central focus of the book is Title IX's impact on women's sports. Brake provides an adept, comprehensive analysis of the legislation, the disagreements generated by its enactment and enforcement, and its related litigation." - CHOICE ,, "This very servicable book deserves attention, especially by those contemplating the prospects of the current American empire." - London Review of Books, "In this day and age of warfare followed by nation-building, Wood's career may hold some lessons for today's generals." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Leonard Wood was one of the most fascinating figures during the age of the American empire at the turn of the 20th century. Physician, general, and colonial administrator, he was a man of great talents and striking flaws. Jack McCallum, himself a physician, has written a lively biography of Wood that shows how he moved from doctor to warrior, always trailing controversy behind him., "In this day and age of warfare followed by nation-building, Wood's career may hold some lessons for today's generals." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch ,, In this day and age of warfare followed by nation-building, Wood's career may hold some lessons for today's generals., "In this text, Brake provides a detailed discussion of Title IX's legal requirements, describes the various feminist theories that underlie its provisions, and suggests concrete ideas for adjusting the law to better achieve its goal of gender equality . . . Well-written and well-supported,Getting in the Gameoffers a unique analysis of title XI and athletics." -Emily Lawson, Law Library Journal, "Brake provides an adept, comprehensive analysis of the legislation, the disagreements generated by its enactment and enforcement, and its related litigation. Her critical commentary also offers an equitable perspective on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the legal and policy environment that surrounds title IX." -A.H. Cooley, Choice Magazine, This very servicable book deserves attention, especially by those contemplating the prospects of the current American empire., ( "This very servicable book deserves attention, especially by those contemplating the prospects of the current American empire." )-( London Review of Books ),(), ( "Wood receives his due in a fine biography. . . .
