The material in this manual is based on an analysis of outstanding leadership displayed by both military and civilian leaders. Although these leaders were not all of the same pattern, and did not use the same methods of attaining success-all of them successfully applied some or all of the principles and techniques of leadership contained in this manual. A thorough study of these principles and techniques, combined with actual troop application, will help to develop and foster the high standard of leadership so urgently demanded by the complexities of modern warfare. In the final analysis, war is still waged by men.
Something practical we can all use throughout our life.

US Army Leadership Field Manual (FM 22-100)
This book carried me through two different decades in the military. It is one of the few books that make clear what leadership is and the actual mechanics of leadership, which can apply to everyday life.
But for anyone in the military or planning a military career, this book is worth reading, even if not issued.
I plan to use it if I ever get around to authoring that novel.
This book is much more than the sum of its parts, and to understand it, you must live it.
One of my favorites is:
“The practical value of history is to throw the film of the past through the material projector of the present onto the screen of the future.” - B. H. Liddell Hart (1895-1970), English Military Writer and Strategist.
