The Collected Works of the Thirty-Second Chief of Staff, United States Army
A compilation of Sullivan's words and writings during the four years that he served as the U.S. Army's Chief-of-Staff, just after Operation Desert Storm. As Chief-of-Staff, the Army had to adapt to the challenges of new strategic realities and new pol'l. priorities: the end of the Cold War confrontation, a myriad of new missions during a time of declining resources, and emerging technologies that suggested revolutionary changes in warfare. Sullivan realized that the Army had to adapt to an ever-changing world while maintaining its professional edge, and in a way that preserved its values and its essence: service, commitment, and the individual soldier.
Hope Is Not a Method
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States Army has been reengineered and downsized more thoroughly than any other business. In the early 1990s, General Sullivan, army chief of staff, and Colonel Harper, his key strategic planner, took the post-Cold War army into the Information Age. Faced with a 40 percent reduction in staff and funding, they focused on new peacetime missions, dismantled a cumbersome bureaucracy, reinvented procedures, and set the guidelines for achieving a vast array of new goals. Hope Is Not a Method explains how they did it and shows how their experience is extremely relevant to today's businesses. From how to stay on top of long-range issues to how to maintain a productive work force during times of change, it offers invaluable lessons in leadership and provides proven tactics any business can implement.
Portrait of an Army
The Army Art Collection has over 10,000 pieces of art which, taken together, provide a wide-ranging visual record of the activities of the U.S. Army, with a clear emphasis on the human dimension of a soldier's life, both in peacetime and in war. Portrait of an Army is a representative selection of work from that collection. The focus of the volume, like that of the artists themselves, is on the composite reality captured in each image, and on the interplay between related images, regardless of chronology. The result is a portrait in its truest sense: a distilling of experience, as remembered in selected, telling details. But it is also a collective portrait, a commemoration of those successive generations of men and women who have served the Army and their country so well. --from publisher's description.

War in the Information Age
We are beginning to realize the emergence of a new age--the information age. On the one hand, the full dimensions of this new age, if indeed it is such, are unknown. On the other hand, the authors argue that enough is known to conclude that the conduct of war in the future will be profoundly different. Paradoxically, however, they claim that the nature of war will remain basically the same. In this monograph, General Sullivan and Colonel Dubik examine that paradox and draw some inferences from it. When societies and states changed from an agrarian base to an industrial base, the way they made war also changed. Industrial nations furnished their armies with tools very different from those pro...
