All of us know that success is just an arm's reach away but for some reason we tend to not reach far enough and success just slips past us. Every once in a while we have to be reminded that we have to reach just a little further and soon success will be ours. That's what the 100 ideas in "100 Ways to Rule Your World" are all about.

During the Allied Occupation of Berlin (1945-1994), Doughboy City was where the US soldiers went to hone their skills and prepare for when the Soviets and the Warsaw Pact decide to make Khrushchev's Ultimatum a reality. Doughboy City was a mock city with its own subway station and city hall. One foggy morning the training turned deadly. They ruled it a terrible accident but one Soldier doesn't buy it but cannot prove why or how or who did it. As the story unfolds, a suspect starts to emerge until it is undeniable but still no proof. That is until an unlikely duo changes everything for everyone. All set in the days before the world would change forever. Then again, in Berlin change is an everyday occurrence.

During the Soviet Blockade of Berlin (1948-1949), Operation Vittles (Berlin Airlift) brought in over 2,326,406 tons of supplies, nearly two-thirds of which was coal, on 278,228 flights to city of Berlin. The Berlin Airlift was the greatest single mass airborne relief operation the world has ever known. The supply planes flew in food, fuel, and medicine and others brought something extra. Chocolate and candy was parachuted in to the children of Berlin. While all the aircraft flew in to Tempelhof Airport, R.A.F. Gatow, and Tegel Airport heavy with supplies, very few cargo planes ever flew to western Germany loaded. The few that did fly back heavy were carrying empty boxes and trash. Even fewer C-47 cargo planes were carrying precious cargo, very important precious cargo. When the operation to bring the precious cargo out of Berlin is discovered and the contents are switched no one is the wiser until a young Berliner recognizes the cargo is not what it seems to be. The young Berliner then turns to a US Army Infantryman for help. Together, they must do what they can to stop the cargo from leaving Berlin. They soon enter into the race of their lives, what they do not know is that it is also race for the lives of every man, woman, and child in the city of Berlin and the Free World.

The Walking Leader is a collection of 20 rules that anyone in any organization, company, group, or department can follow now to help lead them down the path of leadership greatness. The Walking Leader deals with the fact that everyone who wants to succeed within any organization must get out from behind their desk, out of their office or cubicle and walk around the entire organization. While this is a great idea however, over the years there was nothing formally put down on paper as to what to do once someone got out and about the company floor. Lacking any guide, the 20 rules of the Walking Leader were created to ensure that any one that decides to go out for a walk knows they have permission to go out there and do it, and if they need a guide, here it is Please visit the book's website at http: //www.walkingleader.com or the author's website at http: //www.daveguerra.com
