Deane Jr.'s service career. 520 $a "John R. Deane Jr. (1919-2013) was born with all the advantages a man needs to succeed in a career in the US Army, and he capitalized on his many opportunities in spectacular fashion. The son of one of George C. Marshall's closest assistants, Deane graduated from West Point with the first class of World War II and served in combat under the dynamic General Terry de la Mesa Allen Sr. After the war, he led a German espionage unit in operations against the Soviets, personally led the first foot patrol following the course of the Berlin Wall as it was being constructed, participated in the 1965 Dominican Republic intervention, and saw combat in Vietnam. In 1975, he received his fourth star and became commander of the US Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command. In Lessons in Leadership, this exceptional soldier not only discusses working with some of the Army's most influential and colorful leaders--including James M. Gavin, William E. DePuy, William Westmoreland, and Creighton Abrams Jr.--but also the many junior officers who helped him develop the leadership skills for which he became well known. Throughout, he offers eyewitness accounts of key Cold War-era events as well as wise observations concerning the leadership and management challenges facing the Department of Defense. Ably edited and annotated by Jack C. Mason, Deane's illuminating memoir also features interviews with several of Deane's contemporaries, whose comments and recollections are interspersed to provide depth and context to the narrative."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Deane, John R. $q (John Russell), $d 1919-2013. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x Officers $v Biography. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x Military life $v Anecdotes. 600 17 $a Deane, John R. $q (John Russell), $d 1919-2013. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00195100 610 17 $a United States. $b Army. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533532 650 0 $a Generals $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Leadership $z United States. 650 0 $a History, Military $z United States $y 20th century $v Anecdotes. 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x Military life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351813 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x Officers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814617 650 7 $a Generals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939841 650 7 $a History, Military. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353231 650 7 $a Leadership. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994701 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Anecdotes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423876 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 700 1 $a Mason, Jack C., $e editor. 830 0 $a American warriors (Lexington, Ky.) 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180802013938.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D2219BC47E8911E893E09E1097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
