This book about succeeding in a US Army infantry unit. The author was assigned to an infantry unit, despite a psychiatric evaluation that said he lost his temper very quickly and that it was uncontrollable. His first reaction was to get very angry, but he realized that was exactly what the psychiatrist said. He worried that he would get into a situation where he needed to be in control, but would lose it and cause one or more people to be injured because he was not thinking properly. However, he gained control and found that communicating calmly with his troops allowed him to accomplish more. The author hopes you enjoy reading this as much as he enjoyed living it.
