Praise for Heroic Leadership:

"Heroic Leadership is relevant and timely. Cohen illustrates the application of many sound leadership principles, establieshed through experience in both peace and war, in the form of universal laws, tools and competenecies by presenting an outstanding collection of contemporary and historic examples. Heroic Leadership should be on the reading list and in the library of every leader and studetn of leadership today." - General Peter J. Schoomaker, US Army (Ret.) former Commander-in-Chief, United States Special Operations Command and former Army Chief of Staff

"Once again Bill Cohen brings forth a must-read manual for present and future leaders. His ability to connect the ledership traits necessary to lead in our complex society is remarkable. The virtues of leadership are highlighted, and this is a must-read for those who are inspired to lead. He has given a gift to future leaders, and I am humbled by his work." - Harry N. Walters, former Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs and Administrator of Veterans Affairs for President Regan, 1981-1987

"General Cohen's book is a mjaor contribution to the literature of successful leadership. He has clearly demonstrated through this distillation of 30 years of study and practice that the successful Heroic Leader must, first of all, be a servant of those being led. Heroism involves sacrifice of one's own interests in favor of others. The hard decisions of leadership invariably require sacrifice of comfort, personal gain, amition and even one's life so that others might survive and succeed. Heroic Leadership is a superb guide to understanding and applying this concept of leadership." - Major General John Grinalds, USMC (Ret.) former President, The Citadel

"You must read this book! It will help leaders in and out of uniform to do what needs to be done to lead their organizations to success." - General Thomas G. McInerney, USAF (Ret.) former Air Force Assistant Vice Chief of Staff and Chief Executive Officer, Business Executives for National Security
