“If you haven’t read hundreds of books, you are functionally illiterate, and you will be incompetent, because your personal experiences alone aren’t broad enough to sustain you. Any commander who claims he is ‘too busy to read’ is going to fill body bags with his troops as he learns the hard way.”
— Retired Gen. James Mattis, quoted in a Foreign Affairs review of his book, Call Sign Chaos, by Max Boot.
