How did some officers learn interpersonal communications skills and others fail, and what are the consequences of senior officers inabilities to hear others? This study poses these questions and others to USAWC Class of 1986 students, and follows up on their thoughts with general officer interviews. Nine active duty generals and one retired general participated along with, to a very limited degree, senior members of the Israeli Defense Force, for comparative purposes. The students indicated that about two of every five generals are approachable, in that they seek their subordin...

Few figures in American history are accorded greater honor than the military commander at the head of his troops. This study identifies and recounts the careers of those men who have given their lives while serving as general officers from the beginnings of our nation's military history to the present day. In addition to offering profiles of American military heroes, the study also provides a basis for consideration of some of the ways in which military leadership techniques have changed over the years. Biographical information for each general officer includes year of birth, branch of service, and state from which the officer entered the service, a brief synopsis of preservice and service achievements, and an account of the cause and circumstances of death. The highest rank held with date of commission and specific date and place of death are given for every officer, and each entry closes with a list of sources.
