Written by somebody who has lived "in the trenches" for fellow soldiers and law enforcement officers. The writing style is very direct and unfiltered. Howe explains early in the book that his intent was to get his thoughts down on paper while they were fresh and to avoid watering them down through a formal editing process. The feeling you get is that of a junior leader listening to a seasoned veteran pass on his wisdom.

Chapters include:

* Accelerating The Loop
* Combat Mindset
* Individual Leadership
* Selection
* Team Leadership
* Organizational Leadership
* Combat Leadership
* Training For The Fight
* Leadership Planning
* Teaching Leadership
* Counseling and Mentorship
* Realities of Combat and Tactical Tips

Recommended reading for leaders at all levels. Although oriented towards leadership skills, there are also lessons for individual citizens. Would be a great companion book to Grossman's "On Combat" or Bowden's "Blackhawk Down."

I have read this book several times it is very infomative and well done. I have also had the opportunity to meet and train with Paul,let me just say he has been there and done that andhas nothing to prove to anyone. I am one of his Tactical Rifle Instructors,and I have much respect for him. Twisted Evil

Paul is a friend of mine and his book is in my stack. I am looking forward to getting to it. Paul is a no nonsense warrior that has been there and tells it like it is so I am sure that his book is no different.
