Leadership: The Warrior's Art


     

George C. Marshall: Rubrics of Leadership

By Christopher Kolenda


     

By Stewart W. Husted

No political order, economic enterprise, or military organization has ever achieved significant success, or even survived, without outstanding leadership.  It brings up contributions from some of the most thoughtful minds and practitioners of the Warriors' Art.  Kolenda and his colleagues explore the matter through its theory, history and comtemporary experience.  The work is bold, fresh and broad-scale examination of the single most critical factor in making groups drive for success in the face of daunting resistance.  It is a volume of monumental significance.
      This is not just another biography of George C. Marshall, past Army Chief of Staff and Secretary of defense and Secretary of State, Stewart Husted recognizes that for Marshall leadership was a verb, not a noun, and this book conjugates it.  It is a leadership book bereft of most academic jargon-no collaborative synergisms, no Type A, B, or even C, no Theory X or Y, nothing approaching charismatic, not even a paradigm, shifting or not shifting.


     

     

A Tale of Three Wars


     

War, Terror, & Peace in the Qur'an and in Islam

By Edward B. Atkeson


     

By T.P. Schwartz-Barcott

This action piece is full of suspense and intrigue.  But for the military professional, the talented amateur, and the concerned observer there is more-much more.  The reader is invited to view the war through the eyes of three officers from three armies: U.S., ARVN, and VC, and through the prism of three different political cultures: democratic, authoritarian, and despotic.  In the context of this war, at this level, at this time, and at this place; the differences are not as great as one would expect or even hope.
      An amazing compilation of, and objective research into, Muslim warfare.  Especially useful for government and military leaders who must deal with Muslim fanatics in combat situations.  Critically reviewed by prominent internationalists and praised for its practical and realistic iinsights into the motivations and patterns of behavior of Muslim warriors.
