As not only a student of leadership, but also a student of history, I found the book more than satisfied my curiousity about the little-known surgeon-soldier-imperialist who had a close personal relationship with TR.
The section of the book about Wood's inspired leadership in Cuba following the Spanish-American War is especially well researched and written.
I highly recommend "Leonard Wood" and look forward to comments from other students of leadership, history and Theodore Roosevelt.
