“The author condenses volumes of psychological studies into a readable and exciting book on practical military leadership.”—ARMOR
 
“Colonel Malone not only provides handy guides on what should be done and how it should be done . . . he also aids the reader in how to know that desired results are being achieved.”—Leatherneck
