H.R. McMaster Biography

Herbert Raymond McMaster, a retired United States Army lieutenant general and former 25th United States National Security Advisor, has left an indelible mark on American military and national security strategy. 

His critical analysis of U.S. strategy during the Vietnam War laid the foundation for his book Dereliction of Duty, which has become essential reading within the military. McMaster's military service is highlighted by his roles in the Gulf War, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, showcasing his expertise in both conventional warfare and counterinsurgency.

After serving on active duty, McMaster transitioned to influential academic and policy-making roles, including appointments at Stanford University and the Hoover Institution. His extensive experience in combat and strategy, coupled with his academic pursuits, positions McMaster uniquely at the intersection of practical military leadership and theoretical policy development. His contributions to military doctrine and national security have been recognized through various roles, including commanding the 3rd Cavalry Regiment in Iraq and shaping the future of the U.S. Army as Director of the Army Capabilities Integration Center.

Today, McMaster is celebrated not only for his military service but also as a thought leader in international affairs and security policy. His books, such as Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World, alongside his hosting of the Battlegrounds podcast series, underline his ongoing commitment to understanding and addressing global challenges.
