"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 overview and assessment
of the evolution of American political-military command and control and decision making
after the end of the Cold War"--
