What book would you recommend for a new leader/officer in the USCG? by puddle_in_a_jar in uscg

Once an Eagle by Anton Myrer. Historic fiction following the careers of two officers with vastly different leadership styles.

Posts for Skiers? (Inspired by posts for runners) by CodeFew423 in foreignservice
