Called “everything a twentieth-century war memoir could possibly be” by the New York Times, this national bestseller by Colonel David H. Hackworth presents a vivid and powerful portrait of a life of patriotism.
From age fifteen to forty, David Hackworth devoted himself to the US Army and fast became a living legend. In 1971, however, he appeared on television to decry the doomed war effort in Vietnam. With About Face, he has written what many Vietnam veterans have called the most important book of their generation.
From Korea to Berlin, from the Cuban missile crisis to Vietnam, Hackworth’s story is that of an exemplary patriot, played out against the backdrop of the changing fortunes of America and the American military. It is also a stunning indictment of the Pentagon’s fundamental misunderstanding of the Vietnam conflict and of the bureaucracy of self-interest that fueled the war.

Hacks ledarskaps är fantastiskt beskrivet och kommer har validerats efterföljande många gånger. Hans ledarskap har och borde inspirera alla ledare oberoende av organisation

För att vara en så här lång bok så blev den aldrig långtråkig. Mycket intressant att höra från någon om hur livet är på insidan utan att bli för mycket

I can't listen to yet another bloody american mispronuncing "foreign" words. Flattening and lengthening the letter A. "stollin"(Stalin), ahto-bonn(autobahn) and pronouncing O as in the word "oh", so Moshe Dian becomes "MOE-shr dee-onn". Fucking morons. Shit book
