Testimonials

"Everyone wants to win! This tome is a history of what it takes to win: Preparation. It is worthy of re-reading. The greatest men ever, some of whom have lived and some of whom are still living, have led and continue to lead by example. Sgt. Major Craig is an example of such leadership, past and present; one whom has — and continues to — prepare himself over and over to grow as a leader into the future. The reading gets a reader through the history; the re-reading gleans a leader of her or his lessons. Read on and on! And ... stay steady at the ready!"
