FWIW, Yale University Press has a page for the book available here. From the blurbs, one may gain a sense of Moyar's trajectory of inquiry. YMMV.

It is a sad irony that we have more media coverage than ever, but less understanding or real debate.

I have read the blurbs and know from other references, that he focuses on leaderhip and character, but does anyone know more about Moyar's approaches in his new book?

My boss has an advance copy, I've been bugging him about it for days, but he despises Moyar, and hasn't really looked at it.
Will offer some insights ASAP.

I have made a pre-order of the book on Amazon UK, but it is first realeased on the 27th of November. It would be very convenient to know other readers opinion of his new book.

Got it. . .will post some thoughts this weekend.
Judging from a quick skim-through, I would say save your money, but that's a very first impression. . .
