Book Reviews of Leadership

Book Review: "A leader should be anticipating all the time..." -Rudy Giuliani
Summary: 5 Stars

Good, sound advice, for anyone in any position of authority during these trying times. Have emergency procedures to rely upon when disaster strikes. Who knows the future??? Who knows how many disasters have been averted because of the efforts of all of our security forces since September 11??? I just hope and pray that the same vigilance that has maintained this country since September 11 will continue in the future, I sigh as I type this. I have a family member in Iraq, or somewhere, who believes that they are doing good over there and is very devoted to our armed services' mission wherever they may be called into action. In talking to a serviceman who was in the States briefly before going back to Iraq, he said that they are trying to prevent what is happening over there from coming to America. Thank G-d for all of our security forces all over the globe for their vigilance. Thank them every day you wake up and not have to see the mayhem all around as they do in Iraq or elsewhere.

Mayor Giuliani was working on this book when tragedy struck that September. I was surprised that he didn't speak of it more often in this book, though the opening and closing chapters frame this book. The book has a lot of practical advice for anyone to apply in their own lives and I was not disappointed that it would be unoriginal and is not written as any other self help book addressing this subject.

I do recommend this be read so that we can remember the lives lost and the lives so deeply affected by that loss. That day still seems so surreal to me, but for those who live in NYC, the attack was no joke. They have an ever present reminder in their line of sight that tragedy struck. The magnanimity of that event was brought to bear to me when Giuliani took Henry Kissinger to the site and he remarked that the sight was worse than anything he had seen in WWII. And Mayor Giuliani also lost four significant people that day, some of whom he had spent clean air space with the very same day. That was a tough several, sleepless months for the Mayor. It's still so very hard to believe.

Anyway, this is good. I feel somewhat guilty writing this since I signed up for the John McCain campaign, but I will redeem myself with other McCain biographies and books in the future. I like the Republican debates and the guys that are running. Glad to see them getting along, glad to hear their ideas. This country surely needs them. And we need to be ever vigilant...
