From Library Journal
Military author Axelrod presents George S. Patton, one of America's greatest generals, as a gruff model for the corporate world; his strategies are seen as effective tools for managers in the workplace as well as on the battlefield. The ten parts, or "chapters," offer nearly 200 quotations from Patton or ideas expressed by him during World War II. The author then expands and applies these "leadership principles" to today's corporate world. What we learn here is how military tactics and strategy can be used effectively in civilian situations as well. A definition of leadershipA"A Commander will command"Aand the value of loyaltyA"I prefer a loyal staff officer to a brilliant one"Aare but two examples of how Patton's words can be applied to management. This work is for managers and for anyone who looks for help in leading themselves and others at work or in life. One memorable idea to glean from the book is, "You are not beaten until you admit it. Hence don't." Thank you, General Patton. Recommended for all public libraries.ADavid M. Alperstein, Queens Borough P.L., Jamaica, NY

This short, direct work includes a compilation of quotes from the famous American general, as well as stories of illustrative incidents from his life. All of these are used to demonstrate several commonsensical concepts of leadership. Bruce Winant performs the narrative while Robert Foxworth portrays Patton. Winant's voice is pleasant and easy to understand. Foxworth's Patton seems to intentionally imitate the late George C. Scott's famous movie performance. This combination works well and makes for a nice listening experience.
