My vision for this book and the others in the series is to let people know what kind of commanders we have,.. You don't pick generals off park benches... They are experts at what they do and lot of thinking goes into it. And I want to get across to people the intellectual dimension of command, to let people know that it's hard to be a general. And the people we have with general stars on their shoulders are pretty smart and pretty good guys.
