Valor's Measure

Summary: Lessons for us all
Review: Valor's Measure is a quick read which should appeal to non serious students of history who are curious about our heritage and those who made their mark along the way. It's about a remarkable man who rose to enormous challenges and who set a high standard for courage, dedication to his duty, and compassion for others. His mannerisms and methods of leadership should be a standard for all leaders in and out of the military. The author has an ability to make the reader sense the horror of war, physical discomfort, fatigue, hunger, cold, the stress of danger and the unrelenting fear. I closed the book with a renewed awe of my forebears who demonstrated so many virtues of bygone days.
