Requests:  0 Summary:  The Pentagon is the headquarters of the single largest institution in America: the Department of Defense. The security and freedom of billions of people around the globe depend on the D.O.D, yet to most Americans the Pentagon nothing more than an opaque five-sided box that they regard with a mixture of awe and suspicion. A former Secretary of Defense, Carter takes readers behind the scenes to reveal the inner workings of the Pentagon, its vital mission, and what it takes to lead it. An essential book for understanding the challenge of defending America in a dangerous world-- and a trove of incisive lessons that can guide leaders in any complex organization. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 355.6092 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 355.6092 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList
