Inside the Five-Sided Box: Lessons from a Lifetime of Leadership in the Pentagon

The twenty-fifth Secretary of Defense takes readers behind the scenes to reveal the inner workings of the Pentagon, its vital mission, and what it takes to lead it.
Â
The Pentagon is the headquarters of the single largest institution in America: the Department of Defense. The D.O.D. employs millions of Americans. It owns and operates more real estate, and spends more money, than any other entity. It manages the worldâ€™s largest and most complex information network and performs more R&D than Apple, Google, and Microsoft combined. Most important, the policies it carries out, in war and peace, impact the security and freedom of billions of people around the globe.
Â
Yet to most Americans, the dealings of the D.O.D. are a mystery, and the Pentagon nothing more than an opaque five-sided box that they regard with a mixture of awe and suspicion.
Â
In this new book, former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter demystifies the Pentagon and sheds light on all that happens inside one of the nationâ€™s most iconic, and most closely guarded, buildings. Drawn from Carterâ€™s thirty-six years of leadership experience in the D.O.D., this is the essential book for understanding the challenge of defending America in a dangerous worldâ€”and imparting a trove of incisive lessons that can guide leaders in any complex organization.
Â
In these times of great disruption and danger, the need for Ash Carterâ€™s authoritative and pragmatic account is more urgent than ever.
