Since retiring from the Armed Forces,
Major-General Lewis Mac Kenzie has not stayed out of the spotlight but continues to speak his mind. In this straight-talking memoir, he traces his post-military career as an international commentator on military affairs, a consultant to the Irish government and a federal political candidate.
In
Soldiers Made Me Look Good he answers his critics, including journalist Carol Off for her criticism of his handling of the UN mission in Bosnia. In a hard-hitting chapter, he discusses his professional disagreement with the leadership priorities demonstrated by Romo Dallaire in the early hours of the Rwandan genocide. He continues his story to the present, to the first real litmus test for NATOAfghanistan.
Divided into two partspre-1993, when Mac Kenzie calls himself a Cold War grunt, and post-1993, after his controversial stint in Bosnia
Soldiers Made Me Look Good is laced with anecdotes both funny and profound. It concludes with ten pointers on leadership, in which Mac Kenzie shares hard-earned insights from a life on the front lines.
