The helmet and the plume - Yes it is the helmet - is an unusual book. It deals with the military so completely original. These letters of a commanding officer, Colonel Kempf, its commanders, throughout his time of command. You do not read descriptions of fighting, much less a copy of the regulations, you will discover the life of a regiment of the French Army in the 2000s, between operations, training and neighborhood life. Agree or disagree with the advice or orders you read it you will understand better the difficulties and rewards of the current fiscal military command.
Who this book is he? The military did not order the building block to understand perhaps better and their leaders can prepare themselves for some to exercise these responsibilities as exciting as difficult. The military has ordered a re-read basic unit with a touch of nostalgia letters that remind them of a time bygone times.
Beyond the military, all civilians exercising responsibility of management to find an alternative source of inspiration, different from the textbook or the biography of a particular person.
Finally, if you fall into either category, just for fun and the human adventure, you'll find your account. And so, bearing in mind the words of Clausewitz: " Any activity warrior refers necessarily to the commitment, either directly or indirectly. The soldier is recruited, clothed, armed , educated, and he sleeps, eats, drinks, and only works to combat the right time and right place ".
Ultimately, you understand that I loved and that I will advises reading.
Presentation Editor:
Colonel Kempf commissioned riders and tringlots, Legionnaires and porpoises, called and committed (before and after the professionalization) in conventional regiments or experimenting with the basics of defense. He commanded in France, as he controlled operation within a UN, NATO staff, national or European, the Balkans, Ivory Coast and Chad, not to mention other personal stay. Like others, as much as others, he knows whereof he speaks. For here is a collection of letters he sent each month to his captains. Not to detail what was said to the general report or to give instructions for the next turn or the next Opex, but to help them raise their heads above the skyline. Being in command of the action should not be an obstacle to thinking: signature authority visits, case command, leaves, absences, these practices are often innocuous, everyday neglected, as if they were not serious. However, just as they prepare for war, for a little reflection, because at the end, fire kills, and it has not changed. A book for all who are responsible for men: commanders, of course, but also civilian manager.
