Praise for Conversations with Major Dick Winters "Kingseed has captured the essence of a great military leader as only a soldier-historian can."--Lieutenant General H. R. McMaster, author of Dereliction of Duty "An anatomy of leadership, of courage, of discipline, and above all, of self-knowledge."--Dennis Showalter, author of Patton and Rommel and Hitler's Panzers "A remarkable soldier recounts his understated leadership journey through war and peace."--Brigadier General (Ret.) Frank H. Akers Jr., USA, president and CEO, Oak Ridge Strategies Group, Inc., "Colonel Cole Kingseed has captured the essence of a great military leader as only a soldier-historian can. Dick Winters was an extraordinary combat leader, and Kingseed's extended conversations with him tell us why. Winters possessed a unique and powerful combination of humility, integrity, courage, compassion, resilience, and determination to win."-Major General H. R. McMaster, USA, Commanding General, Fort Benning, Georgia and author of Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam "Band of Brothers's Major Dick Winters is arguably the most recognizable American hero to contemporary America in large measure because of Colonel Cole Kingseed's scholarship. Conversations with Major Dick Winters takes the Dick Winters story to a new level and makes his legacy even more powerful, more personal, and more compelling to a whole new generation."-Colonel (Ret.) Kevin Farrell, USA, former chief of military history, U.S. Military Academy at West Point and author of The Military and the Monarchy "Based on a personal relationship fostered and nurtured through years of conversations and directed reflection, Conversations with Major Dick Winters should be mandatory reading not just for military leaders but by anyone who wants to improve their leadership style by learning from a 'master' . . . Colonel Kingseed's unparalleled personal relationship with Winters permits the rest of us to eavesdrop as a remarkable soldier recounts his understated leadership journey through war and peace."-Brigadier General (Ret.) Frank H. Akers Jr. USA, president and CEO, Oak Ridge Strategies Group, Inc. "Are leaders born or made? The perceptions and the insights of Band of Brothers's Major Dick Winters show that in a democracy, true leaders are cultivated. In the tradition of Lord Moran's The Anatomy of Courage , this is an anatomy of leadership, of courage, of discipline, and above all, of self-knowledge."-Dennis Showalter, author o f Patton and Rommel: Men of War in the Twentieth Century and Hitler's Panzers: The Lightning Attacks That Revolutionized Warfare, "Kingseed has captured the essence of a great military leader as only a soldier-historian can."--Lieutenant General H. R. McMaster, author of Dereliction of Duty "An anatomy of leadership, of courage, of discipline, and above all, of self-knowledge."--Dennis Showalter, author of Patton and Rommel and Hitler's Panzers "A remarkable soldier recounts his understated leadership journey through war and peace."--Brigadier General (Ret.) Frank H. Akers Jr., USA, president and CEO, Oak Ridge Strategies Group, Inc.

Synopsis
On the hellish battlefields of World War II Europe, Major Dick Winters led his Easy Company--the now-legendary Band of Brothers--from the confusion and chaos of the D-Day invasion to the final capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest. Winters was a quiet, reluctant hero whose modesty and strength drew the admiration of not only his men, but millions worldwide. Now comes the story of his last years as witnessed and experienced by his good friend Cole C. Kingseed. Kingseed shares the formative experiences that made Winters such an effective leader. He addresses Winters's experiences and leadership during the war, his intense, unbreakable devotion to his men, his search for peace both without and within after the war, and how fame forced him to make adjustments to an international audience of well-wishers and admirers, even as he attempted to leave a lasting legacy before joining his fallen comrades. Following Winters's death on January 2, 2011, the outpouring of grief and adulation for one of this nation's preeminent leaders of character, courage, and competence showed just how much of an impact Dick Winters left on the world. INCLUDES PHOTOS, Major Dick Winters led Easy Company from the confusion and chaos of D-Day to the final capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest. Now comes the story of his last years as witnessed and experienced by his good friend Cole C. Kingseed. This is a story of leadership, fame, friendship and one man's struggle to find the peace that he promised himself if he survived World War II.

No big deal, since the rest of the book looks great. However, should've either mentioned that in the details or listed it as "Like New." Still a good deal.
