Great read. Anyone looking for a great book on principles of leadership will find tremendous value in Call Sign Chaos. It’s a fantastic read. Reading the book you can feel the emotion and struggles of General Mattis as he gained experience and leadership skill in the crucible of combat. Looking up as well as down a chain of command, focusing on clear end goals and and acting in an ethical manner are messages that will apply to business or combat. I read this book in one day. Could not put it down. It was that good.

Phenomenal. Start to finish a great book. Lucky enough to have met the General briefly while in DC.

Great book but..... The narrator can’t pronounce a lot of words. Tarawa sounds like “Tear-Wa-Wa.” LoL

Review. Great read!

Must read for every CGO. You’ll be a better leader for it.

Validates his close followong. There are many reasons Secretary/General Mattis has a seemingly cult-like following, and this book reinforces and validates that loyalty. A clear guide to anyone who fancies him/herself a leader at any echelon on basic tenets of servant leadership, particularly equating professional competence in military leadership (and civilian leadership over military) as one’s moral obligation to those one leads. While difficult to do at his level, Sec. Mattis deftly avoids political partisan simply by addressing it directly, while reminding us that we’re better than our political environment conveys. Importantly, he clearly conveys the need for clear policy objectives and appropriate resourcing to attain those aims when committing our forces to combat operations. Without these, we risk dishonoring the sacrifices of our military service men and women.

General Mattis. I’m sorry to say I felt that you short-sheeted the Marines that served during the Vietnam Nam era. As you know well , traditions are built upon other traditions We had the veterans of Korea but also some old salts from WWII still in the Corps in 1967 when I joined. Also at 17 But the point is that when you referred to us it was understood that we somehow didn’t measure up to “your Marines” or men that joined after Vietnam Nam I was with 3/26 at Khe Sahn and we didn’t smoke dope and we didn’t frag our officers. We may not stack up academically but as war fighters I believe we were at least as good if not better. we did not have stress cards during boot camp and our training was world class however our leadership was shown to be something less than that.Civilian I’m referring to. Anyway sir you were a general and I was a sergeant so we are bound to see things differently but I hope you understand that we may have been a little rough around the edges but we were every bit as brave and tough when when we needed to be Chesty never got the Good Conduct Medal ! Semper Fi

Leadership Lessons and Snapshots of Time. First, remember this book was written before GN Mattis became the Secretary of Defense. No current political topics under President Trump occurred during the timeline of this book. Second, as a former Grunt, the leadership lessons offered in this book are amazing. I’m sure this will be on the Commandant’s recommended readling list. As someone that spent time in the first gulf war, then Iraq and Afganistan, it is nice to hear some insight into the friction between the military commanders and the White House. Third, we can’t undo the mistakes of the past, but we may hope to learn from history.

Fantastic!. Fantastic book on leadership showing that good leaders make mistakes, own them, and then move forward with lessons learned from those previous mistakes. Plus, it’s General Mattis.

A lot of hot air!. War heroes, or any person having served deserve the utmost respect from the citizens of the U.S., but this book reflects a makeover of the facts of the last several years. We have a current sitting president unlike any other, now we need heroes of the truth to prevail. Expected more honesty and the TRUTH.

Clear, concise and inspirational. General Mattis shares his hard earned experiences about leadership forged by the crucible of the Marine Corps. The lessons he describes not only fit into the world of the military, they are clear lessons that can resonate with every leader in any domain. Very highly recommended reading.

Good book. Great perspective on recent military issues! Chaos is a outstanding title for the book.

Fantastic. Fantastic book that will instill leadership advice with clear and concise explanations and real world examples. This should be required reading for any potential politician prior to being sworn into office.

Absolutely amazing book of an amazing Patriot!. General Mattis and Bing West truly go into details of the reason General Mattis is the modern day Chesty Puller’s of the Marine Corp. His leadership, care for his troops while never compromising the mission is hands down one of the best leadership manuals for anyone. Highly recommend this read.

Brutally Honest. For a man who is, by every account, a man of character an honor, this is a clear cut reason to look forward and to 'Hold the Line!'

Call Sign Chaos...Learning To Lead. GREAT read...LOVED it. To the authors, please note a factual error. Near the beginning of the book, it is stated that ALL Commissioned Marine Corps Officers attend The Basic School. During the height of the Vietnam War (1967-69), many, possibly most, of we officers commissioned via the PLC (A) pipeline DID NOT attend The Basic School. Upon receipt of our commissions, most of us reported directly to the Marine Aviation Detachment, NAS Pensacola, FL., to begin flight school. A significantly smaller number of us reported directly to Air Force Pilot Training. I’ve been told this is the only time in modern Marine Corps History that has happened. Regardless, right out of the gate, it’s an easily corrected “red flag” to the credibility of the book for those of us who did not attend The Basic School. OORAH!

Not impressed. Seemed to be very one sided.

Refreshing. It is so refreshing to read a book that is about leadership, and commitment to the constitution and democracy rather than politics. Thoughtful and disciplined thinking, with a focus on leadership supporting both military members and service to others rather than self. Teaches by setting an example through his career. Hard to put down.

Best guide for leaders who pursue excellence!. This book has guided me to grow as a more effective, committed, and dedicated leader equipped with various leadership skills!

An excellent memoir. A fantastic memoirs from a well educated and devoted patriot. It is a memoir and therefore one sided by design. I was moved by his leadership prowess as well as his unwavering sense of service. I don’t doubt that every sentence of General Mattis’ beliefs and accounts are 100 percent factual in accordance with his knowledge and experience.
