I read it and enjoyed it. For someone who has no experience it's somewhat eye opening and thought provoking. However, I suspect that if one has any real training in small unit leadership and tactics they are way beyond what lessons the book can impart.

The model the book uses, would lend itself well to an interactive video game, and if there were multiple scenarios, so a player/ student could apply what they've learned and grow as a tactician, it could be useful.

There's a sequel where you command an armored platoon, IIRC. Played it, too, and enjoyed it.
