"""...the first-ever biography of General Willoughby's creative legacy of loyalty to his superiors, questioning how far that loyalty should have extended, while examining how Willoughby walked the tightrope involving telling truth to power.""-- ""ARGunners.com"" ""Although a fascinating biography in its own right [this book] seems particularly timely and relevant given the new revelations about how the current command structure of the U.S. Military was able (and had to) to resist the unlawful and deadly dangerous attempts of Donald Trump to unconstitutionally use the military as his own personal instrument for insuring the continuation of his power and authority as a President and Commander-in-Chief before and after an insurrection.""-- ""Midwest Book Review"""
