Attracting Terrific People: How to Find-and Keep-the People Who Bring Your Life Joy Book

In Comrades, Stephen Ambrose examines male friendship throughout History by providing the reader with several case studies (including examples from his own youth) His chapters on the Eisenhower, and Custer Brothers are particularly strong. In addition he offers a penetrating analysis of the psyche of Richard Nixon which is not to be missed. The weakness in the book stems from the fact that Ambrose draws a little too much on his own experiences in the last chapter, this seems rather self-indulgent, and makes the book feel padded. I could have done with a few more historical relationships, and a little less Ambrose. Nevertheless, I found the book to be both illuminating, and deeply moving.
