By Warren Bennis with Patricia Ward Biederman

This memoir is filled with insights about the successes and failures from a long life and career. The author traversed eight decades of first-hand experience with tumultuous episodes of recent history. This extends from a Jewish child in a gentile town in the 30’s, a young army recruit in the Battle of the Bulge, to a college student in one of the first progressive precursors to the civil rights movement, to a patient undergoing daily psychoanalysis for five years.

The book reveals the triumphs and struggles of the man who is considered the pioneer in the contemporary field of leadership studies.
