This is one of those classic cases where the greatness of a man, the uniqueness of his life story and his legendary heroism puts a blind spot on the Amazon reviewers who award five stars to a two-star book simply because it was written about a five-star man. Rick Rescorla is a genuine American hero, one whose name should be known by every patriot and whose heroics should be taught in every classroom. He has been described as the greatest small unit leader in the Vietnam War, was inducted into the Army Officer Candidate School's Hall of Fame and was a key character in Hal Moore's classic book, We Were Soldiers Once and Young. His iconic image even graces the cover of Moore's book. But Rescorla's heroics passed into legend on 9-11 when he gave his life to rescue over 2700 fellow Morgan Stanley employees from the World Trade Center. Rescorla's Vietnam service and 9-11 heroics are the best elements of this otherwise perspective-jarring, maudlin story of the relationship between Rescorla, his second wife Susan and his best friend from the Army, Dan Hill. Everyone who's read this turkey knows it's not a straight-forward biography at all but a relationship book. James Stewart took his well-written article about Rescorla from the New Yorker or New York Times or wherever it was first published, and turned it into an infomercial about Susan Rescorla's and Dan Hill's self-published biographies. He padded it with all kinds of new-age Rescorla religious ideas, chick-lit pre-Rick romance drama from Susan's college days and a bunch of adolescent, barroom-quality war-stories about "Dan and Rick" to produce a truly mundane bit of journalistic bio fluff, a shallow, post-modern relationship book that Time magazine called "the best non-fiction book of the year." Did they read it? Or base their review on Stewart's excellent original article? I think I know the answer. I bought this book because I wanted to learn what made Rick Rescorla tick -- to find out what leadership principles he developed in his life to help him become the great leader and human being he was. What were his motivations? What were his goals? What of history or his experiences in Africa shaped his character? Stewart skims along the surface of all this, never delving too deep. I wondered about his service in the Army Reserve where he rose to the rank of Colonel. Surely Stewart could have interviewed some of the men and women he served alongside in those years. The Vietnam stuff from Hal Moore's book and the chapter on Rescorla's final hours on 9-11 are very good. I'll give it three-stars for those and to keep Rick Rescorla's memory alive. But barely because the rest is fluff. I get it that some Veterans gave this book praise because they empathize with Rescorla as the disappointed Vietnam Vet struggling with PTSD and the purpose of it all (I am a Vet, too and I hear ya), but some of the brief five-star reviews are probably from James Stewart's pals in the business. Don't be fooled. Disappointing. Find Stewart's original article and you can read all the book's best parts without the padding. Rick Rescorla deserved better than this.
I am profoundly thankful for this book because it memorializes and, in so far as possible, explains Rick Rescorla -- Colonel Rescorla, Managing Director of Security of Morgan Stanley Mr. Rescorla, whose last battle saved thousands of lives and who might have saved his own for a little longer -- if he hadn't gone back into the falling Tower for the rest of them.I've spent over 25 years in two industries: Wall Street and writing fiction. I was in a meeting on 9/11 when a fireman's wife who was a secretary to our of our managing directors in midtown came running in with the news that the first 747 had crashed into World Trade. "There are 3500 people at Morgan Stanley," said one man. We had no idea what to do: we finished the meeting and came out to find that the second tower had fallen, and we were being evacuated from our midtown office.I read the New Yorker article and realized that Rescorla was known to me by reputation: the man who shut down the trading desk at Morgan to drill people in evacuation after the first attack in 1993; the young soldier on the cover of my copy of WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE AND YOUNG..., the OCS candidate who, like my father, had trained at Fort Benning; a quiet legend throughout Wall Street.This book is concise, covers a great deal of time and territory and brings out other heroes such as Dan Hill and Susan Rescorla, whose endurance reminds us that they are heroes "who only stand and wait."This book answered the questions I had not thought to ask in my thankfulness that there WAS a Rick Rescorla when we needed him most.
Rick Rescorla was a Cornish lad who went to war. First as a British police and army officer against Communist terrorists in British Africa, where a meeting with a US CIA operative and lifelong friend, took him to the US, where he joined the US Army. Commissioned, he was shipped out to Vietnam with the Second Battalion, 7th US Air Cavalry. Brought in as a reinforcement for the first battalion during the intense three day Battle of Ia Drang, his platoon held the crucial left flank of then LTCOL Hal Moore's position at Landing Zone X-ray. The following morning 2nd LEUT Rescorla ordered the bayonet charge which took the entire battalion forward and swept the NV Army brigade from the field. His crucial role was left out of Mel Gibson's movie 'We Were Soldiers', based on LTGEN Hal Moore's book, ' 'We Were Soldiers Once .... And Young'. Rescorla was disgusted and would not see the movie. After obtaining US Citizenship, Rescorla went to university and became a university lecturer and playwrite. He also continued with the US Army Reserve, retiring as a full colonel. Finding life dull he took on the job of head of security for Morgan Stanley in the World Trade Centre south tower. He and other security people predicted that the Muslim terrorists having failed to drop the buildings in 1993, would try again, this time by air. On 11 September 2001, he successfully evacuated some 3 000 staff but went back in to try to find some stragglers, when the south tower collapsed. Rick Rescorla, hero of Ia Drang, died a hero on 9/11. He is memorialised by a statue at Fort Benning of him ordering the Ia Drang bayonet charge, photographed by Joe Galloway at the precise moment; and in his home town of Hayle, in Cornwall, England.
