Mr. Obama Please Read This Book

Let us all hope that General Myers can get President Obama to read this book....and take notes!

Great Read! Honest and satisfying.

General Myers gives us a first-person behind-the-scenes look at the events surrounding 9/11. Exciting and informative. His tell-it-like it is honesty is refreshing--not afraid to point out mistakes but does so without blaming and finger-pointing. His Air Force career leading up to this time in our nation is interesting and captivating--makes you want to know how he got to where he was when he did. Buy it. You'll like it.

great summer read

I bought this book to read on our upcoming vacation. I saw this on NBC's Today Show and Richard Myers was interviewed by Matt Lauer. I am looking forward to it. Shipping was prompt!

He knows what he is talking about...

General Richard Myers has the experience to back up his words. While not all sane folks would believe a fighter pilot, Myers has walked the walk his entire career--now he has the tickets to talk the talk. And we better listen--we are at war, regardless of what the politicians want to call it, and we better develop and understand the strategy necessary to win this war--the consequences of not doing so will leave a sad and bloody leagacy for our grand children. I just hope our political leadership is listening...

Great accurate account of occurences in an exceptional career.

This book is a chronological account of the major events and milestones within the career of Air Force General Richard B. Myers. It is an interesting and engaging read with detailed insight into the significance of many military positions. I found it to be insightful, current and respectful of the importance the U.S. Military plays on the global platform. Highly recommended read for any military or civilian personnel interested in learning the path to America's most senior military position. ***Unfortunately, the ignorance of ideological extremists will appear in the less informed, unintelligent reviews featured. The individual is no Marine. Nothing more than a dishonest disgrace to a great organization (USMC).***
