5.0 out of 5 stars Reading for every officer, May 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Challenge of Command (West Point Military History Series) (Paperback)

This book is essential reading for all those who are or hope to someday be military leaders. It utilizes philosophy, ethics, and morals in its discussion of an ideal leader. it is versatile in that it can be used early in an officer's career to guide him, or later, to refine him. "The Challenge of Command" should be required reading of all officers and officer candidates.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read for Military Officers, November 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Challenge of Command (West Point Military History Series) (Paperback)

This book should be on the desk of every officer in the U.S. military. The book is insightful by itself, but the bibliography is priceless. New officer's are often told by their mentors to "read biographies of great men". Of course, their first question (often to themselves) is "Where do I find that kinda stuff???" This is the book for them. I ordering a copy for my new officers (and myself) right now.

5.0 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL, December 13, 2004

By	Joseph E. Brunsman "Reader" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

By all means this text is essential to your quest to become a leader. Although slotted for an outlook more akin to officers; I would highly recommend this book to enlisted members as well. As an NCO myself this book was incredibly insightful and has definitely furthered my career as a member of the military. If only more officers would read this book the Arms would be a much better, and effective, entity.
