Command Missions

"You play games to win, not lose. And you fight wars to win. That's spelled W-I-N! And every good player in a game and every good commander in a war ... has to have some son of a bitch in him. If he doesn't, he isn't a good player or commander.... It's as simple as that. No son of a bitch, no commander."
Lt. Gen. L. K. Truscott, Jr. was a hard-driving U.S. colonel and general in World War II, a leader and victor in North Africa, Italy, and Southern France. He did not abide incompetence, even when it came from his superiors. He always spoke truth to power. And in this timeless classic, which he first published in 1954, Truscott tells the unvarnished truth about all sorts of key decisions, events, and battles-and all sorts of generals and soldiers-while giving insight into the crucial military and political moments of the time.
