The United States Army officer, secretary of state under President Ronald Reagan (1981-1989), and White House chief of staff during the final months of the administration of President Richard M. Nixon (1969-1974) was born on December 2, 1924, in Pennsylvania, United States. In 1947, he graduated from the US Military Academy at West Point and in 1961, he earned a master's degree. In 1966, he attended the Army War College. He was appointed as a military adviser on the National Security Council. When Nixon's top two aides White House Chief of Staff H. R. Haldeman and domestic policy adviser John Ehrlichman resigned in 1973 amid growing evidence of their involvement in the Watergate cover-up, Haig reluctantly left the military to become Nixon's chief of staff. Haig reportedly played a significant role in talking the president into resigning, which Nixon did on August 9, 1974. Six weeks later, Haig resumed his military career as supreme allied commander of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces in Europe. Haig was appointed secretary of state in 1981 during President Reagan's first term in office, but resigned in 1982 amid disagreements with other administration officials. He wrote one book about the Reagan administration, Caveat: Realism, Reagan, and Foreign Policy (1984), and ran an unsuccessful bid for the 1988 Republican nomination for president. In 1992 Haig published his memoirs, Inner Circles: How America Changed the World. He died on February 20, 2010, in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
