Newman knows how to make "follow me" a willing, productive act for all concerned. He is a master of teaching by example, with humor and kindliness, without losing strength.

The book falls into three parts: Command Presence , Command Techniques, and Command in Battle. It covers training, how to praise, to criticize, when to laugh and when to growl; how to give orders; how not to bully; in short, how to command without losing the human touch. Mistakes will happen, and the General is the first to admit his. One can easily live by this author's examples and it behooves all who care to find out what the magic is.
