I finished the book last night. It does a good job in telling the story of the Vietnam era generation of officers that rose to command in ODS as well as the story of their mentors that commanded the Army through the 1970s and put into place the systems that came to fruition in ODS. Having read Powell's and Schwartzkopf's book before, I don't think that I gleaned a whole lot of new information or insights, so if someone has already read either of those books, I wouldn't make this book a must read recommendation.

I'll try to write up my review tomorrow.
