I’m delighted to announce the release of my new book, WITH SCHWARZKOPF: LIFE LESSONS OF THE BEAR from Smithsonian Books. It happily recounts the life-changing privilege of being mentored by the General across a 47-year relationship. Where many mentors focus on professional advancement, the Bear’s fierce commitment was to replace my weaknesses with unflinching character, to get it right instead of to get ahead. I’d come from a long history of family tragedies triggered by immoral decisions; he offered lessons and skills for one who hungered for moral instruction and reconstruction. I hope this book does honor to a man who honored others.
Gus – just received your new book through Amazon.com – looking forward to reading it. Give me a call when you get here to Fort Collins. You’re invited to dinner. Art Sands 970 481 0527.
Just ordered my copy Gus; I’m looking forward to reading it.
Hello, Sir. I have just discovered your “With Schwarzkopf”, 10 years after you published it (sorry). It fits with what I have tried to do, and I am now looking to purchase five copies for young men (a son, a nephew, two grand nephews, and a mentee) because it will serve them well in life.
Thank you for writing this book!
Now it is time for a confession; the Bible says we are not to envy others. Sir, I must confess that am a little envious of your relationship with “The Bear”; I would have loved to have met him.
Appreciatively,
David Thomas
