I'm not sure what they were thinking when they wrote this book. The theme of the book is a story about U.S. personnel who arranged to have a young Afghan girl brought over for medical treatment to save her life. An admiral undertaking no doubt. The entire book focuses on the actions and thinking of these people to systematically make decisions to achieve the objective. Somehow we are supposed to see these connections in our own actions by thinking things through using the principles. I failed to learn much from the correlations. The message seems to be, think things through clearly then act.

Read this book as a work initiative over the past year. I recommend only reading it if it is assigned reading.
