Originally published by Stackpole in 1963 and revised throughout
the Vietnam War until its final edition in 1973, Guidelines for the
Leader and Commander by Gen. Bruce C. Clarke makes its purpose
plain with its prefatory dedication to the combat soldier who is
charged with defending the freedoms of his country. What follows is
no mere manual for those trusted with leading soldiers in combat.
It is a wide-ranging collection of leadership principles and
maxims-many of them general, applicable to civilians as well as
soldiers-to guide the building and training of an army (or other
organization) from the ground up, starting with the individual
soldier. Thoughtful as well as concrete, pithy and often
conversational, rooted in Clarke's deep and long military
experience, the book covers such topics as Command
Responsibilities, Leadership versus Popularity, A Successful
Manager, Training the Individual, Training the Unit, and Wasting
Soldiers' Time. The legendary and controversial David Hackworth
required his officers and NCOs in Vietnam to carry Guidelines, and
the book has become a cult classic.
