“I simply can’t put this book down. I was completely blown away by the Intro and began highlighting before I could get to the first part of the book! This is a must read!!!”

“At first, I thought I didn't get what systems meant, but after reading about Mr. Allen's experiences in the military and private sector and businesses, I finally understood what he meant. I like all of the examples he gave, especially his military experiences at the naval base in Cuba. He immediately had to shut down the ordinance garage because it was being used to paint cars by some of the soldiers. He also found bottles of liquor in cabinets and refrigerators that had to be dealt with. The military men who ran these operations hated him for shutting them down. He always assessed a new system, finding who he could trust for advice. He related that a when the system fails you don't try to fix it. You step out of it. You also have to cut ties quickly as with his first wife and know the players in each new system that you encounter upon new assignments. He was able to use his military experience in the business world. He hired expert legal help for a bankruptcy experience and came out okay. I liked him giving his wife credit and knowing that his daughters have done well in life. You might say he walked the straight and narrow and was true to himself. A very informative read.”

“First of all, this book reads awesomely well. I couldn’t put it down despite its flaws. In fact, those flaws made ‘The System Is Unforgiving’ so enjoyable.

While navigating complex dynamics in both worlds, he developed the Rules of the System, authorallenmaxwell.com, that would be critical to survive challenging circumstances such as serving in the Philippines amid political unrest, a near death collision on the USS Kinkaid, and a devious internal plan to usurp his leadership in Guantanamo Bay.
