While MG Shadley's book will resonate with those who has served in the modern day armed forces it also addresses the challenges senior business executives will face in their careers. It highlights the conflict between doing the right thing and protecting the organization. This book outlines a very sad time for the US Army and shows the price a strong and ethical leader paid when he uncovered what turned out to be an Army-wide problem of major proportions. It is not written in a tone of sour-grapes nor is it an attempt to name those that tried to use MG Shadley to placate special interests in Congress and outside organizations with an agenda. The reader will quickly pick up on who decided to scapegoat Bob Shadley to protect the Army and throw a bone to those in Congress calling for someone to blame. The lessons learned from this incident, so well outlined by the author, are applicable to any large organization. Standing up and doing the right thing is not always easy. This book should be mandatory reading for business executives. Yes, the author uses military acronyms but he does his best to explain their meaning and you can't write a book about the Army and not use the official jargon. it is an easy read.
