Abstract:
Colonel Cox examines the command of Lt Gen George H. Brett in his wartime assignments. General Brett₂s leadership did not take him to four stars, why? Cox looks at the reasons why he was not promoted, especially, as he began his war time service second in command to Gen Henry ₃Hap₄ Arnold. In his examination Cox shows the reader Brett₂s outstanding leadership, his limitations, and delves into the interplay of broader factors that ultimately impacted General Brett₂s career. This book provides insight toward becoming an effective commander and leader.
