Review:

I met General Honoré when most of America did, when he marched onto the scene and took control of a rapidly deteriorating post-Katrina New Orleans. He was the leader America needed: brave, disciplined, decisive and ready to ignore convention to get the job done. This book shows how to emulate his brand of leadership in whatever we do. -Ali Velshi, CNN Anchor & Chief Business Correspondent --Ali Velshi, CNN

Like Andrew Jackson, Gen. Honoré rode in to save New Orleans at a time of dire need. In this book he looks at the leadership lessons he learned from Hurricane Katrina and his years of service in the Army. He explains how we have to adopt new ways of communicating and commanding in a global era he calls the New Normal. -Walter Isaacson, President of the Aspen Institute --Walter Isaacson, President of The Aspen Institute

I had forgotten how much more famous retired Generals know about the future of civilization than diplomats, academics and politicians, and how much more they know about leadership development than many corporations and CEOs. -Jim Clifton, Chairman and CEO, The Gallup Organization --Jim Clifton, Chairman and CEO Of The Gallup Organization
