I appreciated the chronological flow. You always know what he was doing and when he was doing it. The stories were vividly illustrated. It was like watching a war movie in your own mind as you were reading. The advice and strategies were laid out in a very digestive manner and the reader was often encouraged to apply these to his/her own life.
