 Sweeney Review: Autumn 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
As Clark was the Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (SACEUR) during Nato’s first war, his account of this major operation is an important contribution to the historical record of events that led to what many consider a very controversial military endeavor.
This section helps the reader to understand a bit about Clark’s leadership style and attention to detail (less charitable people would label him a micromanager) and his view that the rest of the Army perceived him as an intellectual and not from the war-fighter mold.
This was further complicated by the apparent lack of interest that was displayed by both the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the national command authorities in focusing upon the Kosovo situation.
