“Every soldier and aspiring soldier should read Brotherhood of the Brave. Cole Kingseed’s superb essays remind us that our military is a living historical community, and it falls upon younger generations of servicemen and women to preserve the legacy of courage and excellence that they inherit from those who went before them.”

~H.R. McMaster, Lieut. Gen. (U.S. Army, ret), author of Dereliction of Duty, Battlegrounds, and At War with Ourselves

"These compelling pages exude the wisdom that comes from years of study and hard-earned personal experience. No historian knows more about American military leadership than the remarkable Colonel Cole Kingseed. Authoritative and well-written, Brotherhood of the Brave is a truly outstanding treatise on the generals who have led generations of Americans in time of war. Highly recommended!"

~John C. McManus, Ph.D., author of To the End of the Earth: The U.S. Army and the Downfall of Japan

"Cole Kingseed has put together an enjoyably readable anthology of U.S. Army leaders, from the American Revolution to the Vietnam War. Filled with leadership examples and hard to put down, everyone will find some wisdom in this book's pages. Highly recommended for both the professional and the casual reader."

~Kevin M. Hymel, author of Patton’s War, An American General’s Combat Leadership, Volumes 1 and 2

“Colonel Cole C. Kingseed is one of a rare breed. He is a soldier historian with proven credentials in each profession. Kingseed writes with empathy for soldiers that is sorely lacking among academic historians. When he writes the reader sees what goes on inside the blue arrows depicted on maps. Brotherhood of the Brave is a must for soldiers and provides gritty insight for those who have not seen the elephant.”

~Colonel Gregory Fontenot, U.S. Army Ret., author of No Sacrifice Too Great: The 1st Infantry Division in World War II and On Point: The US. Army in Operation Iraqi Freedom

“Brotherhood of the Brave is a masterful study of leadership revealed under pressure. With the eye of a historian and the heart of a soldier, Cole Kingseed brings America’s warriors to life, not as legends, but as human beings who learned, adapted, and endured. This is history that sharpens judgment and strengthens character.”

~Colonel Christopher D. Kolenda, Colonel, U.S. Army Ret., author of Leadership: The Warrior’s Art, and Zero-Sum Victory: What We're Getting Wrong About War
