The book's fundamental purpose...is to explain Prof. [Bill] Rood's unique perspective on the practice of strategy to those who never had the pleasure of knowing him during his lifetime, and it does so outstandingly. . . .You Run the Show or the Show Runs You is an impressive success in every respect, and a fitting tribute to Prof. Rood's intellectual legacy. Those who knew him personally will read the book with particularly pleasure, given how delightfully it evokes the spirit of the man himself, but even those too young to have been his students will be enlightened as to why, for instance, arguments concerning British defense policy published in the Royal United Services Institute Journal in 1937 might shed light on the strategic problems facing democracies today and in the future.
