“More Balls Than Brains: Volume 1 : Leadership” by Terry Baldwin

SSD Founder Eric Graves here. I am pleased to announce that my friend and SSD contributor LTC Terry Baldwin (USA, Ret) has pulled his first book.

It collects several of the Baldwin Files seen here on SSD into a single volume.

This is not a tell-all memoir or a collection of war stories for their own sake. Rather, he draws on his personal experiences, military history, institutional lessons, and hard-earned observations to explore the qualities that distinguish effective leadership from the merely performative: integrity, judgment, accountability, initiative, courage, adaptability, and a willingness to take calculated risks.

It will be followed up with additional volumes in the future.

Available in hardcover, softcover, and Kindle editions from Amazon.
