CIGARS, WHISKEY & WINNINGLEADERSHIP LESSONSFROM U.S. GRANT
Kaltman, Al
Prentice Hall (October 1998)

Al Kaltman's CIGARS, WHISKEY AND WINNING is a lively primer of management wisdom that uses anecdotes from the life of a famous historical figure to make its points. What gives Kaltman's book a distinctive and attention-getting edge is that the person whose life illustrates these lessons is hardly someone most Americans would instinctively regard as a managerial role-model. Recalling the scandals that erupted during his presidency, most might wonder what lessons Ulysses S. Grant could teach us on the subject of management and leadership. Yet, even Grant's critics concede he was the most successful general in American history. And, by the time one finishes reading CIGARS, WHISKEY & WINNING they'll understand why Grant was a brilliant, indeed awe-inspiring, manager.
