Description
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This book contains a 1,300-word (~7 double-spaced pages)essay written by a former military officer and current attorney and the full text of both "A Message to Garcia" and "How I Got the Message to Garcia." Both of those works are in the public domain and there are numerous free versions of them online. You do not need to purchase this or any other book to secure readable copies of either. Please do not spend your money on this book if that is all that you want.
DESCRIPTION: Reaching Garcia is the first in a new series of books entitled "Classic Books for Modern Leaders." The series takes classic texts and provides relevant commentary from experienced leaders (in this case a former military officer and corporate attorney). The purpose of the series is to highlight classic texts of value to modern leaders, provide context, cut the chaff (where appropriate), and present them.
In this first volume, attention is focused on one of the best-selling books of all time, A Message to Garcia, and its far lesser-known, but more important true story, How I Got the Message to Garcia. Both works are presented in their entirety with only minimal changes to their original texts. The introduction provides context about the original, highlights important points, and discusses both books' value to modern leaders.
This book will be of most value to readers interested in the story of Andrew Summers Rowan, those who are reading or have read "A Message to Garcia" without having read "How I Got...", and those who want both of these works together in one file.
