I worked at the USDC from 2006-2008 and worked, slightly, with Martin. The book helped clarify timelines, rumors and questions I had. MacNeill really was creepy. He was stuck up and set people on edge. I’m not sure how he kept his façade as long as he did. But there was real celebration when he got canned from the USDC. Shortly after MacNeill was fired a retired Army officer joined the steering team and I can’t help but wonder if that would have unraveled Martin a bit more since he couldn’t have browbeat Joe like he did so many others. Just to spread a rumor, embezzlement was proved at the USDC and one must wonder if Martin had a hand in that…

VDH is one of the best authors currently writing. His thoughts and insight are on par with Liddel-Hart.

A truly excellent book on military command. Alexander explains the difficult decisions that had to be made and how to drive large military force. He is passionate and calculating. A book that has stood the test of time and should be read by all professional military service members.

One of the greatest leaders of all time. He never had a favorite weapon. He had many tools of the trade and applied the right tool to the military problems.
