Straight shooter

This is a easily read summary of leadership challenges and the responsibilities of leaders in police and military units. Howe does not claim to be an English major, and while that comes through, what is also apparent is his understanding of what it takes to lead in dangerous situations. Each chapter can stand on its own, and might be worth consideration, at least in part, for someone teaching leadership development.

Howe does not disapoint

Should be a standard on LE trainers bookshelf for constant review, study & strive to match the standards within.

Simply Superb

This is one of the must read books for leadership in the military, or anywhere for that matter. While it is called "Training for the Fight" and many of his examples are dealing with combat, it is not limited to ground forces, combat roles or the military. It is a collection of what makes a good leader and how to become one. The phrase 'leaders are born' is mostly rubbish, a true leader has to be developed from his experience and mentors, and this book clearly shows that.

Paul Howe's writing is clear and concise, and he formats his chapter like an Army After Action Report (AAR), which works fairly well. He starts his chapters with a snap shot of an operation or other experience of his, then goes through and breaks it down into what was right or wrong, what should be changed, how to fix it and what could be improved.

You really can't go wrong with this one, whether you are a working in an Infantry squad, on a ship, or in a boardroom, this is equally useful to any aspiring leader, one someone who just wants to improve their leadership.

I didn't know what to expect from this book when I purchased it. I simply wanted to read the thoughts and ideas of a well respected and highly experienced leader. What I got out of this book is simply amazing. Howe has an uncanny ability to get right down to the core issues. He does this through a little bit of intrigue, a ton of valuable insight, and a bit of humor on top. He has that rare ability to get his point across without sounding like a preacher. Through my experiences in the military and Law Enforcement I can more clearly see how leadership should be approached. I believe that my abilities greatly improved due to the insight I gained from this book. This should be required reading for all military and law enforcement personnel.

No Punches Pulled

A brilliant evaluation of lessons learned on the battle field. This book is useful for anyone who finds themselves in a leadership role or who desires to be in leadership. MSG Howe takes real world encounters from his personal experience and cites examples of what went right and what went wrong. A must for the library.
