From dust jacket: The Author has gathered together in this book a selection of thoughts on command, leadership and morale originated by some of the great leaders of our time and has added to it some suggestions from his own experience in attampting to put these precepts into effect on a Bomber Station and on a Strategic Missile Base. In his Foreword, Marshal of The Royal Air Force Sir John Slessor says: “Nothing can take the place of experience. But to have the main principles and the more important practical details of command and administration set out in simple terms is a great help. I warmly commend this book to the notice of all officers, in staff as well as command appointments.” (Inventory #: 61005bd)
