The author recounts here his active participation in more than fifty years of international history - from the aftermath of World War II through the fall of the Berlin Wall and the post-Cold War era. The four-star general's illustrious tenure included the rare opportunity to lead two successive unified commands : United States Southern Command in Panama from 1985 to 1987 and United States European Command from 1987 to 1992. As NATO's supreme allied commander in Europe during the tumultuous five years that ended the Cold War, he played a key role in shaping a new era.
