About the Author
Dean Fenton
Dean Fenton spent thirty years in enterprise technology leadership, much of it leading teams through the kind of crises where you learn that how someone looks on an ordinary day tells you very little about how they’ll perform when everything goes wrong. Blood and Valor is where that lesson meets the Second World War.
