"This work not only contributes to our understanding of the army in which General John R. Deane Jr. served, but it also helps us better understand the Cold War Department of Defense, military leadership, and leadership and management in general. It is engrossing reading and offers useful ideas to anyone―military or civilian―involved in motivating and directing large organizations."―James Scott Wheeler, author of Jacob L. Devers: A General's Life
"Deane worked for some of the most interesting American leaders―including Major General Terry de la Mesa Allen and General William E. DePuy―and his insights into their methods are enlightening. Lessons in Leadership documents one soldier's considerable service to our nation."―Jonathan M. House, author of A Military History of the Cold War, 1944–1962
"Jack Deane's remarkable, almost forty-year career as a leader in the United States Army during its most compelling days is a fascinating read. His strong background as a combat leader and his many research and development assignments made him a natural selection to lead The Army Materiel Command (AMC) through a needed transformation following the Vietnam War. His understanding and appreciation for the needs of the tactical soldier is one of his legacies. His insights on leadership throughout the book are timeless. A wonderful read for every leader."―General Ann Dunwoody, USA (Ret.)
"In Lessons in Leadership, this exceptional soldier not only discusses working with some of the army's most influential and colorful leaders, but also the many junior officers who helped him develop the leadership skills for which he became well known. [An] illuminating memoir."―McCormick Messenger
"This book is a fascinating study on two levels. On one level, it is the story of a highly decorated combat leader who also made a significant impact on the development of the Army in the wake of World War II. On the other, Deane's career represents a microcosm of the Army's history from the pre-World War II years to those following the Vietnam War. This result is an engaging story of a remarkable officer who flourished in war and peace. It is an excellent study in leadership and contributes much to understanding the history of the Army in which the author served."―Army Magazine
"The book is partly military history, partly a syllabus on management and leadership, and partly philosophical mutterings. These three interlocking discussions blend together to produce a
fascinating look at Army life from the 1940s through the 1970s."―Journal of America's Military Past

Mason, Deane's illuminating memoir also features interviews with several of Deane's contemporaries, whose comments and recollections are interspersed to provide depth and context to the narrative.
