ReviewsLEATHERNECK MAGAZINE "Marine leaders and those who seek to lead will surely benefit from this book. The often blunt, direct style is refreshing and makes it an easy read. The pearls of wisdom are there as is the dramatic battle leadership examples." POST AND COURIER "Noble Warrior is two parts U.S. military history, with exciting first-hand accounts of critical battles, and one part opinion narrative regarding the state of affairs in America today, chiefly military and political affairs.", MARINE CORPS GAZETTE      "Written in a blunt and unyielding style that coauthors Heaton and Lewis wisely left unchanged, Noble Warrior: The Story of MajGen James E. Livingston, USMC(Ret), Medal of Honor is well worth reading."  , BOOKVIEWS BY ALAN CARUBA "When you consider that 80% of all Medals of Honor are awarded posthumously, his story is even more inspiring because, despite wounds received, his service in the Marines was far from over after that battle." KEPLER'S MILITARY HISTORY BOOK REVIEWS "Noble Warrior is more than the story of Maj. Gen. James Livingston and how he earned the Medal of Honor.
