Appropriate for anyone who wants to take on a leadership role in the military or law enforcement—or even business—based on Paul Howe’s unique insight as a Special Operations soldier.

Leadership and Training for the Fight is the perfect guide for anyone interested in improving their leadership skills, whether in military or civilian situations. In Leadership and Training for the Fight, MSG Paul R. Howe, U.S. Army Retired, shares his thoughts on leadership that he has developed through extensive combat experience. Howe analyzes leadership concepts. He also provides advice on how to understand students and to change your teaching methods. Topics include:
