Winning - succeeding - whether in combat or in business are not so different. The principles are the same, only the conditions vary. Before a battle, there is no mistaking the risk - a soldier is all in. In business and in everyday life people tend to think and act with less gravity, less urgency. The truth is however, the stakes are the same - life hangs in the balance.

Enter the domain of warriors, diplomats, and heroes. Live a life of fealty to principles of the highest order. Embrace each day as the adventure it is. Make the most of life. Focus on what matters and succeed. Warriors, Diplomats, Heroes, Why America's Army Succeeds shows how.
