Small Unit Leadership: A Commonsense Approach
Dandridge M. Malone
Presidio Press, 1997
Well written
I am thoroughly satisfied with this book. Despite any descriptions that claim it is useful to civilian leaders I find that unlikely. The author even spends time in the first chapter to describe how very little of its contents are useful to civilian leaders and why.
