"The best book on military training from platoon to division level that has been published in any army."--Army magazine "His message is that whatever works and gets results by the most direct and efficient means is good. All else should be eliminated."--Air University Review "A utilitarian book that talks intelligently of leadership, management and common sense."--ARMOR magazine "A hardhitting and unvarnished . . . authoritative work that should be read and reread by everyone who aspires to be a truly professional soldier."--General Bruce Palmer, U.S. Army (Ret.) "A gem, with few peers, invaluable . . . [Arthur Collins'] advice is always performance oriented. Don't talk so much about it, he says, Don't make so many fancy charts about training. Instead, do it. Teach it. Perform it."--ParametersAuthor Biography
