Why read it?
1 author picked One Hundred Days as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A brilliant and harrowing depiction of the kind of full-on, high-stress decisions made in the furious hours of combat in the deep south Atlantic Ocean as Great Britain sought to recapture the Falkland Islands from Argentina, which had seized them. There is no finer example of decision-making by a senior commander at sea in modern combat.

From James' list on to help you make decisions under extreme pressure.
