I wrote a rave for Joker One about a week ago, after hearing an interview on Fresh Air and reading the first 100 pages.  I have since finished the book, and I thought it was one of the best books I've read in a long time.  The Sunday New York Times had a very positive review — I especially agree with the comments about the books unflinching honesty.  When I see how much responsibility author Donovan Campbell takes and versus the finger pointing and blamestorming we now see in corporate America and government too it helps me understand the stark contrast between real a leader that cares about his or her followers versus so-called leaders that only care about themselves. As reviewer James Glanz put it so well 'a central virtue of “Joker One” is that the narrative is honest — and remarkably detailed, relying on Campbell’s logbooks and diary, as well as his formidable memory — even when the story makes him or the Marines look bad.'
