In 34 years of service in the United States Army, Wesley K. Clark rose to the rank of four-star general as NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, Europe. Since retiring from the military in 2000, he has taken on the roles of investment banker, author, commentator and businessman. In September 2003, he answered the call to stand as a Democratic candidate for President of the United States, where his campaign won the state of Oklahoma and launched him to national prominence before he returned to the private sector in February 2004. In his final military command, General Clark commanded Operation Allied Force-NATO's first major combat action, which saved 1.5 million Albanians from "ethnic cleansing" in Kosovo. He also was responsible for the peacekeeping operation in Bosnia. Born in Chicago and raised in Little Rock, Ark., Clark distinguished himself early as an athlete and a scholar, leading his high school swimming team to a state championship and graduating first in his class from West Point. In 1966, he was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University, where he earned a Masters Degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics.
