Reseña del libro "African Americans Command Sergeants Major at Four Star Commands (en Inglés)"
African Americans: Command Sergeants Major at Four-Star Commands — Past and Present honors 26 distinguished African American senior enlisted leaders who served alongside four-star commanders in Army, joint, and multinational commands. Through carefully researched biographies and historical background, retired Command Sergeant Major James C. McKinney documents the courage, professionalism, sacrifice, and perseverance of leaders who reached the highest levels of enlisted service. Together, these remarkable Soldiers contributed more than eight centuries of military service while strengthening readiness, developing future leaders, supporting Soldiers and their families, overcoming barriers, and opening doors for generations to follow. The book also examines the history and professional development of the command sergeant major, the establishment of the Command Sergeants Major Program in 1967, the position of Sergeant Major of the Army, and the responsibilities of nominative senior enlisted leaders. More than a collection of biographies, this book preserves an important chapter of African American and United States Army history. It is a lasting tribute to leadership, service, and a legacy that must never be forgotten. This volume will be especially meaningful to Soldiers, veterans, military families, aspiring senior enlisted leaders, military historians, and anyone interested in leadership and Army history.
