    Leadership w/an attitude

    A must read for business and students of business, not strictly a military lesson but a guide for leadership in today's business theatre. I did not enjoy the political diatribes, apparently he likes Bill Clinton but not a GW Bush supporter. His political bias was not necessary, else an excellent guide.
