Description: Proconsuls by Carnes Lord Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Proconsuls were generals who exercised extraordinary powers of command in the wars that led to Romes rise as an imperial power. Today, there has been much talk of the increasingly prominent role of proconsular-style officials. This is the first systematic analysis of American proconsular leadership from the Spanish-American War to the present. Publisher Description This book is a study of proconsulship, a form of delegated political-military leadership historically associated with the governance of large empires. Opening with a conceptual and historical analysis of proconsulship as an aspect of imperial or quasi-imperial rule generally, it surveys its origins and development in the late Roman Republic and its manifestations in the British Empire. The main focus is proconsulship in American history. Beginning with the occupation of Cuba and the Philippines after the Spanish-American War, it discusses the role of General Douglas MacArthur in East Asia during and after World War II, the occupation of Germany (focusing on General Lucius Clay), and proconsular leadership during the Vietnam War and the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan at the turn of the twenty-first century. An additional chapter provides an assessment of the evolution of American political-military command and control and decision making after the end of the Cold War.
