Conversations With Major Dick Winters : Life Lessons from the Commander of the Band of Brothers / Colonel Cole C. Kingseed.

Kingseed, Cole C. (Cole Christian), 1949- (author.).

Summary:

"Winters was a quiet, reluctant hero whose modesty and strength drew the admiration of not only his men, but millions worldwide. Now comes the story of his last years as witnessed and experienced by his good friend Cole C. Kingseed. Kingseed shares the formative experiences that made Winters such an effective leader. He addresses Winters's experiences and leadership during the war, his intense, unbreakable devotion to his men, his search for peace both without and within after the war, and how famed forced him to make adjustments to an international audience of well-wishers and admirers, even as he attempted to leave a lasting legacy before joining his fallen comrades. Following Winters's death on January 2, 2011, the outpouring of grief and adulation for one of this nation's preeminent leaders of character, courage, and competence showed just how much of an impact Dick Winters left on the world." -- Back cover.
