General Patton has always been one of my heroes; Alex Axelrod teaches me why. His commentary on quotations from Patton and those who knew him provide excellent lessons for leadership in business and personal life.
If you're a Patton fan; you'll love this. If you're not; you'll be pleasantly surprised!
