Doing the right thing is tough business in a politically charged environment where multiple factions have agendas to prosecute at the expense of others and the truth. Time has passed for us to step back and appreciate the analysis of the situation and the actions of leaders involved at various levels. The author i I appreciate the author embarking on this endeavor to provide a detailed accounting of who, what, when, where, why things happened.
The author indicates much was learned from the events that transpired. Was and is this knowledge being used to prevent future occurrences? It appears the jury is still out. Either way, Bob Shadley did a great job of objectively sharing his experiences and lessons learned from this major event.

General Robert Shadley was extremely thorough in his recall of dates, names, information, and details about the Aberdeen Proving Ground drill sergeant scandal that took place 20 years ago, in It was abominable that the author was reprimanded and not supported by his chain of command, the Army leaders at the highest levels, for doing his duty and being honorable.
I know General Shadley lost much sleep but his integrity remains intact. This book is a I read this fascinating book in one day.

Highly recommend this book to anyone in a leadership role or on the front line still trying to change the culture. Jun 15, Lance Cangelosi rated it really liked it. Interesting look into what is arguably the genesis of the current fight against sexual assault in the military.

The other aspects of this book are that of a tell-all. Very clearly meant to serve as a personal defense and condemnation of Army leadership at the time. In the end it was a fascinating and quick read, I personally wish more of the foc Interesting look into what is arguably the genesis of the current fight against sexual assault in the military. Nov 04, C rated it really liked it Shelves: While at times this book seemed focused on removing the tarnish to MG Shadley's character, I applaud his efforts to shine a bright light on sexual assault in the military.
The insight into the senior leadership at the Pentagon and Congress was candid and insightful. A great work on moral courage, and an important read for leaders.
