520 $aWhether scaling the seemingly insurmountable cliffs of Pointe du Hoc with his first-wave assault troops during the Normandy invasion, restoring integrity to the Texas Land Office, or overseeing transitions in an academic institution with hallowed traditions during a time of contentious cultural change, James Earl Rudder (1910-1970) forged a legacy of wartime gallantry and peacetime leadership that commands continuing respect. This book pays tribute to a man who exemplified leadership, vision, and courage.
