Interviewer:
General, as you look back on the
history of your time, what thoughts predominate?
Wedemeyer:
I have a troubled sense of the futility
that has marked so much of our international
experience. Think of the wars and crises that have
wracked the world in this century! We Americans
tend to get involved quite blindly, with little real
understanding of ends or thought of consequences.
We plunge emotionally into conflicts, lose
thousands of lives, spend billions of dollars, help
wreak enormous damage on the world and its
peoples. Then we go back and spend more billions
trying to put things together again. What an inane
cycle! And look at what happened after World War
II: we destroyed one set of tyrants only to build
up another! We “won” that war only in a limited
military sense.
Interviewer:
What can or should be done?

The Victory Program
T
hen Lt. Col. Albert C. Wedemeyer was
the chief author of the Victory Program,
the initial strategic plan guiding U.S. conduct
of World War II. Promoted to general officer,
he subsequently served in a series of assign-
ments primarily in the Far East.
This is an excerpt from "The Man Who Planned the Victory:
An Interview with Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer" by Keith E. Ei-
ler in
American Heritage
34, no. 6,
(October/November
1983),
http://www.americanheritage.com/index.php/content/man-
who-planned-victory.
Wedemeyer:
Americans simply must become
more forehanded and consistent in the way we
manage our public affairs. As populations grow
and the struggle for space and resources becomes
more intense, a lot of heat is generated. We can’t
afford simply to sit back, let events take their
course, and jump in with a military solution when
a crisis gets out of hand. There are so many ways
in which the course of events can be influenced
without the use or threat of force. Economic,
diplomatic, cultural, psychological, and other
means are available in limitless variety. If all these
“instruments of national policy” are employed
in a timely, coordinated, and imaginative way, in
accordance with a reasonably steady game plan,
there is good reason to hope for progress toward a
better world without the scourge of war.
Interviewer:
I guess you are saying that we
should all become strategists—in the broader sense
of that term?
Wedemeyer:
Precisely!
