Standing Tall is an excellent memoir by an outstanding soldier and leader. A must read for all who are committed to the defense of the nation., Standing Tall is a terrific book following a true American hero's journey during a stellar career in the U.S. Army. Lieutenant General (Retired) Bob Foley has written a must read for anyone interested in learning leadership lessons during the toughest situations imaginable., General Foley's book presents a marvelous description of character-focused leadership, of both its development and practice during a full career of service to our country. The story is superbly told in succinct, clear, and memorable prose., True to its title, the book chronicles the evolution of a young soldier into an effective and capable military leader. Foley shares wise observations about leadership of soldiers that have withstood the test of time throughout military history..., For a time and culture with values often confused if not chaotic, this lively autobiographical portrait of a true patriot strong in faith and family, is sure to inspire, reassure and encourage readers of every persuasion!, What an amazing opportunity! Standing Tall allows us to learn about leadership from a true American hero., General Foley is careful to discuss the effects, both pro and con, that his many re-assignments and family separations had on the quality of life for him, his wife, two sons - who also were attracted to military service - and a daughter., One of America's most heroic soldiers, General Robert Foley has written a practical guide to values-based leadership woven from the rich tapestry of his exemplary life of selfless service and battlefield courage. This is one of the finest contemporary reads available on a life of duty, honor, and country., Standing Tall is an awesome and amazing story of a humble American war hero, who grew up in middle America, endured the discipline of a West Point education and amidst the harshness and challenges of Vietnam, exhibited the ultimate expression of leadership, when he personally assaulted enemy bunkers. A book to inspire young people, to uplift military and veterans and to motivate any reader to reflect a caring attitude to all., Everybody benefits from having an idol. Bob Foley is mine. I have known him for more than half a century, and he never ceases to teach me things that I need to know. His intellect, his insight and--almost as important as anything else--his humor are all on full display in Standing Tall . This is fascinating and essential reading for everyone., Bob Foley has been Standing Tall his entire life. I was privileged to serve alongside him and saw his devotion to Nation and Soldiers firsthand. A Warrior, a gentleman, a friend. This book chronicles it all-a must read., The book is loud and clear on the sacrifices a military family must undergo to enhance a servicemember's career., Standing Tall tells the extraordinary life story of an American hero, Lieutenant General Robert Foley. In this memoir, General Foley shares how he became a warrior, from his time as a new cadet to his experience commanding men in combat. Written by one of the few Americans in history to receive our nation's highest military honor, this book contains battle-tested truths about what it takes to be a leader., Combining easy prose and splendid writing, Foley's leadership odyssey deserves a wide audience. Standing Tall is a primer on leadership that ought to be on every American soldier's mandatory reading list.

Synopsis
"What an amazing opportunity! Standing Tall allows us to learn about leadership from a true American hero." -- Mike Krzyzewski, former Head Coach, Duke University and USA Olympic Gold Medal basketball teams. Finalist, 2022 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Awards Robert Foley had only been in Vietnam for six months when he was promoted to captain and given command of a rifle company. In November 1966, Foley led his men on a mission to rescue another company that had been pinned down by Viet Cong forces. His leadership that day inspired his men and led to a successful operation--and the Medal of Honor. His actions in Vietnam were only a small portion of a long and varied career of service in the US Army, but Foley did not always seem marked for success. Coming from a blue-collar suburb of Boston, his years in West Point were marked by poor grades, injuries, and sickness. With a determination to lead by example and inspire trust among others, Foley served across the globe and rose through the ranks. He even returned to West Point as Commandant of Cadets, later retiring as a 3-star general and commander of Fifth Army.
