Making of a Good Army Officer

By Maj Gen K Eswaran

Army officers are selected after an entrance exam and a stringent Services Selection Board(SSB) which spreads over a period of five days. Where in the world do they have such a selection procedure, where the physical, mental and moral capabilities of a person is checked so thoroughly? No wonder that the officers coming into the army are really GOOD. This book endeavours to enhance the benchmark to the next level and make them even better.

This book is about things that they don't teach you in the Academy. It is based on practical experiences on how to go about in the Army. Why reinvent the wheel? This book can help an officer to lead a better military life and enjoy it too.

Life in the Army is based on relationships. By managing relationships, one can manage one's life better. This book will certainly benefit officers in their 20's and 30s. People in their 40s will be amused to see that the things they have already learnt the hard way and may get to revise it. One only wishes that such a book was there earlier which could have helped a person wade through the tough Army life. This book covers the period after Commission to the level of the Command of a Unit. The book also has a chapter on 'Tips for successful command' as a special feature.

Seven chapters, written in a very simple language, with many interesting stories and anecdotes based on real life experiences. Overall a must for every Army Officer.
