Introducing the British view, the primary historical characters and an overview of both the British and Colonial armies of the times.

Chapter 5 - excellent chapter on mindset and leadership!

When I started this book I thought it was primarily about the stuxnet virus. A pleasant surprise, it also provides a fantastic recent history study of Iran's pursuit of nuclear technologies.

The author's introduction, read by the author, was the most self serving drivel I've ever read. You would have thought a god had descended from the heavens above to give us the secret to all success. Based upon some of the studies and stories used in the book make it evident the author has some personal axes to grind with society. Other than that a good listen so far.

Chapter 3 on stickiness was a bit weak. Used too many examples of kids tv shows to illustrate what stickiness is. Would have been better using more of a variety of examples.

Discussed types of people - connectors, mavins and sales. Interesting accounting and worth researching further.

Finished up chapter 1. Good explanation of how hackers insert computer viruses and how Stuxnet was inserted in particular.
