"Hal Shook's new book resonates strongly with me. The concepts are sound and fundamental, and it is clearly written." (Donald Petersen, President & Chairman/CEO Ford Motor Company -- 1980-1990, Author, A Better Idea: Redefining the Way Americans Work)
"I heartily endorse this volume and especially its core message of inspiring people to attain superior results. I know first-hand that the ideas [in this book] have the power to span time, cultures, and oceans." (Neila N. Smith, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Medical Director, Covance, Inc., Nashville, Tennessee)

The 506th Fighter Squadron Combat History of October 1944 said of him: "Maj. Shook was, in the opinion of the men who flew with him and other officers and men in the squadron, the finest Commanding Officer they had ever been associated with. Without a doubt the finest fighter pilot, best navigator and all-around leader, he was tops as a C.O. In "Shooky" the pilots had an ideal leader they would follow anywhere. All officers and enlisted men exerted special effort because Shook wished something done and not because he ordered it done."
During his command of the 506th, Hal Shook was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal with 19 Oak Leaf clusters, a Presidential Unit Citation, the Belgium Croix De Guerre with Palm, and the Belgium Fourregere. He also holds the Commendation Medal with cluster and the Legion of Merit. He flew 105 combat missions.

He graduated from Yale and holds graduate degrees in journalism from Northwestern and in comparative literature from the University of Maryland. He is co-author of Congress in Action and lives in Arlington, Virginia, with his wife, Adele, and gazelle-like Springer Spaniel.
