24 years later....

I brought this book when I was a young Non Commission Officer (NCO) in 1985. From time to time I had refered to it but I really discovered its worth when I repeatedly used it during my Masters Degree course in the Psychology of Leadership. The old book was tattered and highlighted from years gone...

excellent book even for non-military types

Written for the small-unit combat leader, Col.

This will definitely hold a treasured...
