Praise for General Wesley K. Clark:
'[Clark] was assigned a challenge many experts thought was mission impossible. Instead, thanks to General Clark, we now can declare it mission accomplished.' - President William Jefferson Clinton
'Clark has been a superb battalion commander and will be a superb brigade commander. He will be one of the Army's leaders in the 1990's.' - General Colin Powell
'Clark has the character and depth to be another Marshall or Eisenhower in time of war.' - Brigadier General William Crouch
'My friend Wes Clark has written his powerful story of how the promise of America empowered a young boy, more with patriotism than money, to become a man, a soldier and a hero. Wes offers us hard-won lessons in leadership and the value of discipline and determination. Anyone interested in leadership or improving their own lives should read this book.' - Bill Clinton
'At its core, leadership is defined by values - building trust between leader and led. General Clark has personified that maxim; he was raised in the founding principle of the US Military Academy: to choose the harder right over the easier wrong. His life, his career, and this book offer timely solutions for 21st Century leaders facing challenges of unprecedented complexity. A Time to Lead is a compelling read.' - Lieutenant General Dan Christman (Ret.), former Superintendent of the US Military Academy at West Point
'Wesley Clark's life epitomizes the American Dream - successfully overcoming life's obstacles through applied dedication, courage and faith - and the All American Hero, whose deep love for our nation and humanity led to great personal sacrifice and an exemplary career of public service. Wesley Clark's practical vision for a peaceful, prosperous America is one that we can and should embrace.' - Donna Brazile, author of Cooking with Grease: Stirring the Pots of American Politics and campaign manager for Gore for President 2000
'I was fortunate to serve as General Clark's Deputy in Belgium when he was Supreme Allied Commander and I saw at first hand his masterly handling of events in the Balkans; where by intellect, courage, determination and sheer military skill, he succeeded when none thought this was possible. He established a model for peace and reconstruction, which those involved in Iraq and Afghanistan today can only long for. His book gives a fascinating and very human insight of his unique life experiences which led up to this success, and which have shaped his vision for America and the post cold war Europe. An important book which sheds new light on many of the difficult issues facing those involved in war fighting or peacemaking today.' - General Sir Jeremy Mackenzie GCB OBE DL
'Inspirational insights from a gifted leader with a solid grasp of the issues challenging America at home and abroad - a leader with proven talent for motivating people and achieving historic results.' - General John Wickham, appointed Army Chief of Staff by President Reagan '83-87
'In the dialogue about America's role in the world, Wesley Clark's voice needs to be heard. His military experience and unique leadership qualities form the foundation of his thinking and have earned him a key role in the Democratic Party. In the personal stories found in this beautifully written book, there are valuable lessons that can be applied to today's dilemmas.' - Nancy Pelosi
'Wes Clark has produced a wonderful forward-looking memoir. It uses the inspiring events in his life, both in war and peace, as a springboard to provide lessons for the future. It's a joy to read and a trove of interesting ideas.' - Walter Isaacson
'General Clark has produced a clear and compelling description of what we need to do to defeat terrorism, rebuild our economy and restore our global leadership role. In so doing, this war hero, successful diplomat and brilliant Rhodes Scholar demonstrates exactly the kind of skills, experience and leadership we need to show us the way.' - Mario Cuomo, former Governor of New York
'...a combination memoir, patriotic tract and broadside about contemorary American politics.' - Publishers Weekly
'Clark's willingness to admit tactical failures is admirable, and his strategic insights are piercing yet clear-cut...An earnest reflection on war and peace from a commander's unique point of view.' - Kirkus Reviews
Reseña del editor:
General Clark uses his unique life experience from his difficult youth in segregated Arkansas; through the horror of Vietnam where he was wounded; the post-war rebuilding of national security and the struggles surrounding the post-Cold War new world order to launch his springboard to reveal Clark's vision for America, at home and in the world.
