Description

Claudia J. Kennedy (au); Malcolm McConnell (au). When Claudia Kennedy retired from the U.S. Army in 2000, she had made history by becoming the Army’s first woman 3-star general. The highest-ranking female officer of her time, she was Dep. Chief of Staff for Intelligence, overseeing 45,000 soldiers. Her career had spanned 32 years. She tells how, just after the practice prohibiting women officers from commanding men was changed, she was placed in charge of a chaotic, drug-infested company, & shows how she restored discipline & respect. She brings to life the challenges she faced in South Korea when tensions were mounting along the DMZ. She both witnessed groundbreaking changes in the role of mil. women & helped make them. A stirring example for coming generations.
