Illustrated with a section of both black-and-white and color photographic plates. "The principles of a military family represent the backbone of America. They are the difference between success and failure and are critical for understanding the challenges of life. As the daughter of a veteran, I have the utmost respect for Harris Faulkner, who in this book details the lessons from her time as a military brat - lessons that have led her to such an amazing life and career. Follow her lead as you seek out your own path for life, and you will achieve your goals!" - Meghan McCain, from the rear outer jacket. "Harris Faulkner's 9 Rules of Engagement: Rule #!: Recruit Your Special Forces; Rule #2: Deal With Your Demons; Rule #3: Stay Ready; Rule #4: Devise Your Mission; Rule #5: Wear Camo; Rule #6: Unleash The Power of Integrity; Rule #7: Think Like a General; Rule #8: Own Your Moment; Rule #9: When Things Fall Apart; Believe You Have The Answer." - from the rear outer jacket. "9 rules for life; 9 rules for work; 9 rules from a soldier to his daughter. Growing up in a military family, Harris Faulkner revered her father, Lieutenant Colonel Bob Harris, a high-ranking officer, pilot, and avionics specialist in the United States military who served two tours in Vietnam. As a young military brat accompanying him from post to post, Harris experienced firsthand how success in life was rooted in the knowledge, integrity, and duty that came from her military surroundings. These formative lessons in leadership and work ethic became the guiding principles for her career as a journalist, eventually leading her to become one of the top anchors at Fox News. In 9 Rules of Engagement, Harris uses her father's stories, his career, and the profound father-daughter bond they've shared throughut her life to explore nine life lessons - each rooted in military life - that have shaped her career and molded her as a person. Whether discussing how to "devise your mission," "stay ready," or "think like a general," these rules reflect a lifetime spent absorbing the military mindset for success, while always keeping one foot in the civilian world. Examining the courage, determination, and patriotism that her father's service has inspired in her, Harris shows how his stories of combat and responsibility have been an essential ingredient in her rise through the ranks of national broadcasting, guiding her to her golas regardless of the circumstances. Along the way she interviews other military families, generals, and former and active service members now serving in the United States Congress to illuminate why the message and mission of the military is so effective at changing lives both on and off the battlefield. Illustrated with sixteen pages of never-before-seen photos of her father's service and her own life, this instructive and motivational guide shows the transformative power of our military's ideals, offering a fascinating exploration of how its most treasured values can help all Americans succeed, and demonstrating the truth to the adage that, in military families, the whole family serves - together." - from the inner front and rear jacket flap. …

Description de la boutique
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
