The genesis of this project is Eli Rubin's 1952 book "140 Jewish Marshals, Generals & Admirals." The project seeks to collect all of the Jewish military commanders in Rubin's book, as well as others who have served since then.

Rubin's Foreword:

All the 140 Marshals, Generals and Admirals who are the main actors in the historic procession marching through the pages of this book are of direct Jewish extraction.
Only the intensity of their professing the rites of the Jewish religions varied among them; some of them were strictly orthodox, many others among them were rather indifferent; a very few even went further.
But -- synagogue-goers or not, there is one thing in common in all of them--
Their LOYALTY--their unshakable LOYALTY--to the country whose citizen they were or are . . .
 In this sense, this is as much a book of born military leaders, as of human loyalty.
