For Duty, Honor and Country
by Wesley K. Clark
Four-star General Wesley K. Clark became a major figure on the political scene when he was drafted by popular demand to run for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 2003. But this was just one of many exceptional accomplishments of a long and extraordinary career. Here, for the first time, General Clark uses his unique life experiencefrom his difficult youth in segregated Arkansas where he was raised by his poor, widowed mother; through the horror of Vietnam where he was wounded; the post-war rebuilding of national security and the struggles surrounding the new world order after the Cold Waras a springboard to reveal his vision for America, at home and in the world.

"Old rather than bold news, written with conviction." - Kirkus Reviews.
