![]() Slim’s stands out for his grounded honesty, clear insights and wisdom, and the ability to take lessons forward deep into the future, if only we are willing to see and learn. Any reading of the chronological histories should be accompanied by memoirs to provide a detailed and nuanced understanding from a certain perspective. ![]() Rather, Slim uses it to punctuate a point he is trying to make or expand on an example made in generality. The time spent in detail is not as ponderous as some official histories. The book is full of gold nuggets for small unit leaders, mid level professionals, and strategic thinkers. His openness and frank discussion of his own mistakes is refreshing and unlike any other memoir written by highly decorated generals/admirals. Slim’s account is thorough, accurate and matter of fact. ![]() ![]() A timeless classic with lessons applicable to warfare, modern and post-modern (if that’s even a thing). ![]()
