Synopsis
A study of how the army became the premier model for developing black leadership in a racially integrated setting. The authors contrast the reality of equal opportunity in the Army with the rhetoric about equality in civilian society. They further contend that by emphasizing education, training, and leadership skills, the Army bypasses many problematic situations that other American institutions are still mired in.

Publisher's Note
A study of the integration of the U.S. Army and the rise of blacks to positions of leadership in it shows how the Army's training methods can be applied to civilian society to make equality of the races a reality.
Industry reviews
"Every American--black or white, military or civilian--who cares about building healthy race relations in this country ought to read 'All That We Can Be'."
Advertisement - Colin L. Powell
"The military's success at achieving integration stands in sharp contrast to the tense racial environment in the business and academic sectors of our society. . . .So how did the Army integrate itself without acrimony and balkanization? Charles C. Moskos and John Sibley Butler set out to answer this question in "All That We Can Be." . . . They describe a culture that is supported by what might be called the twin pillars of integrationist success: an absolute commitment to nondiscrimination and uncompromising standards of performance....[The authors] are admirably informative about the principles that underlie 'the Army way' of achieving integration, and their book reminds us tat integration itself is not a vain hope or lost idea."
Wall Street Journal - Frances Edwards (02/12/1997)
"Fascinating and well-written...Anyone who sees the need for a border vision of race in America and to reset the terms of the national racial policy debate should read this book."
publisher's catalogue - William Julius Wilson
This detailed, readable book implicitly tells us to stop complaining about the lack of race fairness in America--and look at how the military has begun to solve the problem. Virtually every one of the military's keys to success can be adapted in civilian society, so let's get on with it.
Geyer
"An important, eye-opening study that delivers fresh, matter-of-fact perspectives on a divisive issue in need of more reason and less rhetoric."
Booth
"A great American success story--and a reminder that a truly color-blind America is a 'hill worth taking."
Wilson
