This book was enjoyable to read, hard to put down, and provided inspiration in myself to motivate my thoughts into action. The easy reading format of our very own history gave a huge insight of our Founding Fathers and the feelings of the age, more than any text book. This should be required reading for every American so they may be inspired into action, dream big, and do something. I know I am.

Bo Short does an excellent job of boiling down the topic of leadership into five true foundational characteristics. Excellent historical references mixed with quotes from today's Senators make this book a grippingly fast read. I recommend it very highly for readers of all ages who desire a concise picture of what makes American leadership great.

This book is a must read for anyone who wishes to know about the founding principles of America and why we must instill those principles in our children. Bo Short's writing style is easy to read, and using five great forefathers of our Country relates one trait from each of them that was instrumental in giving birth to our country. Vision, Courage, Perserverance, Responsibility and Character. These are the values that this great country of ours was founded on. Wherever you are in life, if you learn those five principles and apply them, nothing will stop you and it can be done. If you instill those five principles in your children then you have successfully laid the groundwork for America and the world, for an even better life in the 21st Century.

The author breaks down the characteristics of leadership to the reader with a unique and forceful style that excites, interests and motivates. Well written and easily readable, you will feel at home with this classic the moment you pick it up. One of the few books I have read that leaves you wishing it was longer and yet at the same time you know that any author would be hard pressed to reach the same level of excellence that has been set with this work. First rate in every respect.
