"So much information in here that everyone should know. How to lead, pitfalls to avoid, on and on. This isn't a book just about military tactics etc, it is about life. I HIGHLY recommend it. Skip through the things that don't apply to you if your non-military, such as the rank listing and such. Dig into the items that assist in making you a better person, leader, and citizen." [a private review]

"The Armed Forces Officer" is much more than a how-to guide for military officers. It is a series of candid, timeless essays on the nature of the people who occupy the ranks of the military services."

"The Armed Forces Officer" highlights that our military is not just a collection of machines, processes, and regulations, but a very human endeavor whose proper understanding requires acknowledging that humans are what make our military the complex, potent, and wonderful organization that it is-- a truth that can be applied to any organization, military or civilian, composed of people and all their mysterious complexities."
