It is good to hear someone tell the American people the truth about that foreign policy disaster. COL McKnight honored the warriors of Task Force RANGER well in his book." -- Major Jeff Struecker, USA (RET.), Chaplain. "COL Danny McKnight, one of the heroic figures of the battle of Mogadishu, has written a superb leadership-primer for all chiefs and up-and-coming leaders, which will serve them well from the battlefield to the boardroom." -- World Defense Review. "If you can handle the unvarnished, politically incorrect truth, then you'll love this book. Danny McKnight pulls no punches as he provides a behind-the-scenes version of American combat action in Somalia that you won't get from the mainstream media. Combined with his thoughts on time-tested leadership skills honed while leading soldiers under fire. Highly recommended." -- Robert A. Schmidt, Federal Agent and Retired Naval Officer.
