Books by Douglas A. Cox

Colonel Cox examines the command of Lt Gen George H. Brett in his wartime assignments. General Brett's leadership did not take him to four stars, why? Cox looks at the reasons why he was not promoted, especially, as he began his war time service second in command to Gen Henry "Hap" Arnold. In his examination, first published in 2004, Cox shows the reader Brett's outstanding leadership, his limitations, and delves into the interplay of broader factors that ultimately impacted General Brett's career. This book provides insight toward becoming an effective commander and leader.
