Overview

With the U.S. armed forces playing an ever increasing central role in American foreign policy, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the role of regional Commanders in Chief (CINCs) in both implementing and shaping relations with various countries.

This book explores the role these military commanders play in contemporary U.S. foreign policy.
