As a professor of English, I'm probably the least likely person to purchase a book on leadership in business, but I consider this book a real gem with which to kick off my reading for 2000. Wheeler's brief, but insightful, examinations of leadership under the most stressful conditionsare both entertaining and highly useful to anyone who aspires to successfulmanagement of one's business or professional life. He conveys hissubstantive knowledge of both the Civil War and the conflicts of moderncapitalism in a focused and fluid manner. It is always a pleasure todiscover a writer who is passionate about his work, and I look forward tohis next contribution to the genre.Click Here to see more reviews about: Take Command!: Leadership Lessons from the Civil War (Paperback)
