Book Description
Aside from his blatant lack of piety -- and the fact that he's Jewish -- Father Edmond Music could have been a model priest. Now, entrenched at an English estate with a vast library, he would rather pursue a decades-old liaison with his housekeeper than crack down on his assistant's dial-a-confession phone ministry, or, more important, investigate the whereabouts of a rare Shakespeare text gone missing on his watch.
Then, out of nowhere, penance comes due. His car is found totaled (possibly by Vatican hit men), his annoying archrival of the cloth is looking to nail him as a thief, and the once-passionate housekeeper is lapsing into religious fervor. With his forty-year idyll falling apart, Edmond can no longer ignore the danger of the present, or the echoes of his buried past.
National Jewish Book Award-winning author Alan Isler delivers a hilarious and touching literary homily, confirming his unique gift for mingling comedy and tragedy in this deeply moving exploration of faith, love, and identity.
Download Description
From the award winning author of "The Prince of West End Avenue" comes an irreverent tale of a formerly Jewish--and now decidedly errant--Catholic priest.

Difficult to read. Writing, plot, chars, difficult to grasp........2002-01-15
I ordinarily like a book that's a challenge. But this one didn't appeal to me. The opening line was funny enough for me to think I was going to have a good time, but the pace was quickly mired by the stylizations of the author, who introduces (without much call) ponderous literary and historical references, and quotes from the most erudite thinkers and writers, almost as if to prove that he is, or his character is -- what, older? educated?
Frankly, if it was meant to help a characterization along, then it wasn't done gracefully. I felt more like the author had a copy of "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations" by his side, and less like this style contributed to the humour, plot, or characterizations. At least the passages where the characters interacted (dialogue) were worth skipping forward to read. But I found the writing to be so pre-occupied with its "look how well-read I am" feel that I lost interest in the book entirely and ended up putting it down.
I don't recommend this book for any but the most committed reader. Someone willing to bypass easier entertainment.
Left me breathless.......2001-11-30
After reading the masterpiece "Prince of West End Ave", I dove into Clerical Errors. Isler does not disappoint. This too is a gem. Isler belongs in the modern pantheon.
Devoted Catholics may be offended by the work. However, this misses the point. Its not really about Catholics. Any more said would spoil this carefully crafted tale.
Somewhere in the middle............2001-09-20
After reading Clerical Errors; then the reviews "Distasteful" and "Exquisitely Literate...." I'm somewhere in the middle. I think 5 stars gives this work far to much credit, 1 too little. Mr. Isler ruminates is right -- in excess; to the point it's distracting. On the other hand Clerical Errors is filled with some amusing (though hardly original) observations. If a "poke" at catholicism offends, then don't read this book. In truth, any study of history will expose much of what Isler uses as jabs to the faith. This is nothing new.
Unfortunately, he also seems to use Father Music's ruminations about his life and "career" as a Catholic priest to periodically trot out the obligatory mention of the WWII atrocities committed against the Jews, the religion of Father Music's family. In addition, Father Music appears to view his cast off faith (Judaism) in a better light than the one that provided him with a secure and comforatable life. Despite the misgivings of his later years, he doesn't show any sign of giving up his present comfortable position.
Each religion has it's contradictions, problems, and flaws. Unfortunately the book is lopsided in it's assessment of the two faiths that have impacted Father Music's life.
All in all, don't expect much that's original, but have some fun with the antics of Father Music and Father Twombley.
Distasteful.......2001-07-31
How can one admire a prose style and at the same time be repelled by the uses for which it is employed? The answer is, Easy, when it is a smirking anti-Catholic screed like Alan Isler's CLERICAL ERRORS. Mr Isler's protagonist in the book, a rather insufficiently converted Jew turned Roman Catholic priest, misses no opportunity to libel his new religion (although it provides him with a comfy livelihood)and bewail the wrongs done to the people of his birth. Believers are portrayed as ignorant bumpkins or malign pederasts. CLERICAL ERRORS will find its audience among those who want their worst assumptions about Christianity reinforced.
To his credit, Mr. Isler has managed to develop a style that is cut-rate Nabokov, although lacking the broad intelligence behind the model. That is the only positive comment one can make about this rancid work.
EXQUISITELY LITERATE AND TOUCHING.......2001-07-20
Forget kindly, selfless Father Flanagan - his antithesis is Father Edmond Music, a priest gone far astray. He finds joy in celebrating the pleasures of the flesh with his housekeeper, Maude, is involved in the disappearance of a thought-to-be Shakespeare manuscript, was born a Jew, and worst of all, he's an unabashed atheist.
Let's say up front that some will be offended by what they may consider blasphemy; it's pure Isler who won the 1994 National Jewish Book Award for "The Prince Of West End Avenue." He's satirical, laugh out loud funny, exquisitely literate, and touching. He's also unwilling to be reined in by "popular constraints."
Thanks to a much earlier love affair with the robust Kiki, who gave the church her family home, Beale Hall, Father Music is contentedly assigned to be the Hall's director with the stipulation that it be used as a spiritual retreat.
Regrettably, the priest's laissez faire attitude has earned him a persistent enemy, one Father Twombly who is determinedly investigating the disappearance of a valuable manuscript from the Hall's library. Thus, at a rather advanced age Father Music is forced to try to outwit his vengeful nemesis.
Mr. Isler laces his text with ruminations on life, love, and faith - not longueurs but substantial food for thought offered with sly winks and witty prose pictures. "Clerical Errors" is a rich rabelaisian feast.
Book Description
Are we prepared to meet the challenges of the next war? What should our military look like? What lessons have we learned from recent actions in Afghanistan and Iraq? Macgregor has captured the attention of key leaders and inspired a genuine public debate on military reform. With the dangerous world situation of the early 21st century-and possible flashpoints ranging from the Middle East to the Far East-interservice cooperation in assembling small, mobile units and a dramatically simplified command structure is essential. MacGregor's controversial ideas, favored by the current Bush administration, would reduce timelines for deployment, enhance responsiveness to crises, and permit rapid decision-making and planning.The Army is the nation's primary instrument of land warfare, but what capabilities can the Army field today, and what is the Joint Commander likely to need tomorrow? Stuck with a force structure that hasn't changed since Word War II, as well as an outdated command system, today's Army faces potential failure in a modern war. Without a conceptual redefinition of warfare as a "joint" operation, a new military culture that can execute joint expeditionary warfare will not emerge. New technology both compels and enables evolution of the armed forces' organization. MacGregor's visionary plan to integrate ground maneuver forces with powerful strike assets is the foundation for a true revolution in military affairs, and has sparked heated debates in policy and military circles.

On target & useful--a master speaks.......2005-02-13
I hold this author to a higher standard, for he is in the top rank of perhaps 10 people who really know what they are talking about with respect to transformation. I believe he is the single most important mind behind the Army's recent transition from 10 divisions to 40+ brigades as the basic form of organization. Where he falls short (and remember, this is a master who in falling short is still light years ahead of the others) is in not going far enough: in not carrying his ideas out to inter-agency collaboration and multi-national inter-agency planning and coalition operations.
He also fails to properly put the failings of the US Navy and the US Air Force in context. The US Navy today is a disgrace, largely incapable of moving anything or getting anywhere at flank speed, and the US Air Force is even worse off--incapable of lifting what needs to be lifted, when it needs to be lifted, in the distances and quantities that need to be lifted. Without a chapter on this joint "sucking chest wound," the author's otherwise brilliant work loses much of its potential at the SecDef level.
This is a very serious book, not an essay. It is packed with substantive information, it is well-documented, and the footnotes are as useful as the main text.
The underlying theme in this book is that the Chief of Staff of the Army will not succeed until he breaks the back of the cultural mafia that persists--like the horse cavalry of old--in focusing on big units and expensive platforms. While the author is among the foremost and earliest proponents of small, fast, and many, it is clear to me that he does not consider the current Army to be moving in the right direction--a direction that he makes clear could lead to our achieving a sufficiency within months rather than years.
Perhaps the most revolutionary underlying theme in this book is that of how to deal with information. The author may well be the most intelligent helpful commentator I have read in this respect. On page 102 he focuses on the fact that "Command centers where information is collected and transmitted should not be information monopolies," and he focuses throughout on the urgent need to use "commander's intent" (a concept of operations pioneered by Marine Corps Commandant Al Gray) and fluid lateral information sharing to increase situational awareness and agility at the tactical level.
Published in 2004 and not doubt polished in 2003, this book gives the US Army a failing grade for the future while noting that it could--with application and innovation, get back to the Honor Roll within months, rather than years.
I am a Marine and I discount the "hate and discontent" from disgruntled Marines writing reviews against this book. There is a big difference between Marines from the sea carrying out largely amphibious missions, and soldiers (and increasingly in today's army, contractors at a ratio of 1:1) in for the long haul. We need a 450 ship Navy, a 2 Berlin Airlift Air Force, a 45+ brigade Army, a 3 MEF USMC, a doubled Coast Guard, a tripled State Department, and a whole new focus on inter-agency and multinational armies and related peacekeeping cadres. It is not enough to fix Army--we need a grand strategy for using all of the instruments of national power over a 100 year timeframe. In this context, the book gets an A for giving Army the slap in the face it needs right now, and a C+ for missing the larger picture within which the Army, no matter how transformed, will fail because everything else in the USG is failing when it comes to coordinated sustainable inter-agency operations. Theater commanders and Army ground forces cannot win the war alone, nor can they make peace on their own.
One final word of praise: the author is an honorable man of great moral courage who speaks his mind in the public interest. Within the book he has harsh things to say about ticket-punching careerist officers, and think tank harlots who give their masters what they want, not what they need to hear. I salute and will follow any man such as this. We need more like him.
Transforming how America Fights.......2004-11-10
In recent internal memorandum to the top brass of the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, expressed deep reservations about our progress in the war on terrorism. He challenged the uniformed leadership to speed up transformation, writing "It is not possible to change DOD fast enough to successfully fight the global war on terror." Of all the branches of the military, the Army has been the most reluctant to restructure itself to meet the post cold war security environment's demands.
In Transformation Under Fire: Revolutionizing How America Fights, Colonel Douglas MacGregor examines the Army's failure to transform itself and forge a truly effective force to carry its burden in the war on terror. Instead of delaying transformation, he argues, the war on terror makes structural reform all the more urgent. MacGregor maintains that recent Army attempts at transformation, relying on the Stryker and a distant Future Combat System, fail to address the heart of the Army's problem: its anachronistic and cumbersome organization on the tactical and operational levels. MacGregor, however, spends the majority of his book proposing a solution to the problem: an immediate re-organization of the Army's combat units; and the fielding of currently available technology that will quickly address its tactical and operational needs.
MacGregor's ideas are not new. A Gulf war veteran who fought in the battle of 73 Easting, Colonel MacGregor went on to command 1-4 Cavalry at Ft. Riley. While serving there, he recognized the need to re-structure the Army to meet the post cold war demands. He likened the new world order to the American frontier in the late 1800s, which required not the mass infantry formations of the Civil War, but a flexible, expeditionary force based easily deployable, mounted formations. MacGregor's first book on transformation, Breaking the Phalanx: A New Design for Landpower in the 21st Century, laid out in detail his path to structural reform of the Army, emphasizing truly independent, self-contained Brigade sized units; elimination of the Army Divisions, and the formation of Joint Task Forces (roughly the size of a Corps) which integrate all services under a single command structure. Although his ideas received a lot critical acclaim, they went nowhere with the conservative Army leadership.
In Transformation Under Fire: Revolutionizing How America Fights, MacGregor argues that the "war transforms armies." Now, more than ever, the Army must finally shed its industrialized warfare skeleton, and adapt to the realities of Information Age warfare. The Army's essential structure has remained unchanged since the end of WWII, while the end of the cold war necessitates that the Army transform into "an irresistible offensive-maneuver force against a fleeting, mobile enemy." While the Army has recently recognized the need for transformation, he points out; it has sought technological solutions at the expense of addressing the fundamental question of organization for joint warfare.
Rather than transforming to meet the nation's needs, the Army is trying to "do what it wants to do." MacGregor explores the global trends that require a radically different approach to national security issues by the military. Globalization has severely disrupted social structures in much of the developing world, and brought America plenty of new enemies in all corners of the earth. The complete dominance we enjoy in world power has forced our new enemies to resort to unconventional attacks to inflict harm on United States interests. This requires a radically different approach from our Armed Forces. The current administration has developed pre-emption as the national security strategy to deal with emerging threats; such a strategy requires early decision in a crisis. The Pentagon has switched to an "Effects-based" strategy, which emphasizes rapid victory in conflicts by rapidly striking the enemy's strategic center of gravity. The Army's current attrition warfare structure does not position it to conduct rapid, decisive operations in support of the "Effects-based" strategy.
MacGregor goes on to sketch out an operational re-organization into Joint Force Headquarters, which integrate Army maneuver capabilities with strike capabilities of the Air Force and Navy. The Army would re-organize its core service capabilities into specialized modules that would support the Joint Task Force mission. By cutting out the Divisional structure and merging all branches of service at the Joint Task Force level under a three star General, the armed forces would have an organization capable of executing operations in a truly joint fashion with much reduced command decision cycles. MacGregor argues that army must create "network centric" organizations immediately. Combat Groups (roughly a brigade sized unit with all of its support assets organic) would be capable of independent, dispersed mobile warfare, rather than tightly scripted, coordinated mass maneuvers favored by divisions and corps. To forge truly effective combat groups, MacGregor urges training cycles based on unit manning concepts currently under consideration by Army leadership.
MacGregor reserves his last chapters for the upper echelons of the Army and what must change to effect true change. He calls for re-alignment of our combat power, shifting troops away from cold war bases to forward bases that enable power projection and expeditionary warfare. He calls for returning units to the United States and rotating them through forward bases to provide forward capabilities to the national leadership. Additionally, he argues for significant stream-lining of the Army's command structures in Europe and Korea. MacGregor goes on to advocate a new, stream-lined Army command structure to equip the new force, eliminating such headquarters as TRADOC and merging others. Bureaucracy and entrenched interests are the main impediments to effective, rapid transformation. MacGregor goes on to lambaste the Army promotion system that rewards officers who are "yes-men," while punishing officers with bold, forward-thinking ideas. As an example, he points out that selection for General requires the unanimous consent of all 17 General Officers on the board; essentially, a Colonel who aspires to serve at the higher ranks must keep his nose clean and not upset anyone with bold thinking. Finally, he takes the Army to task for remodeling existing Brigades, divisions, corps, and armies with new systems, while passively waiting for technology that is ten years in the future; instead, they should be restructuring now, using existing technology to carry the Army through the battles of the next fifteen years.
MacGregor's book is in the best tradition of military theorists, whose ideas transformed armies to meet the challenges of WWII: Hans von Seckt, Liddel Hart, Charles De Gaulle, and Heinz Guderian. MacGregor presented the first coherent view of how the information age should transform the way we organize for war. The question now remains whether the U.S. Army will heed his calls for true reform, or continue to cede more and more of its missions to the Marine Corps, which has embraced expeditionary warfare. MacGregor takes to task the leadership culture that stifles change; but more importantly, he sketches out a realistic, immediate path to true transformation that will vault the Army out of exile at the Pentagon and back into the forefront of the nation's struggles in the ongoing war on terrorism.
Pride goeth before destruction............2004-08-04
As a civilian its troubling that marines are dying in Iraq unprotected and when someone like Colonel Macgregor offers solutions we have marines more concerned about whether these reforms bruise or exalts someone's ego. Isn't it more important that we get our marines out of flimsy trucks and into tracks than the USMC ego? Isn't life more important than death? Isn't victory more important than defeat?
Something as important as war requires courageous thinking. The quote about our warriors and scholars becoming too far apart and having fools doing our fighting comes to mind.
What of the wives, children and parents of the dead marines?
Must they suffer lifelong grief because the marine ego was too proud to admit it needed help in the form of tracked armor?
My advice to our young people having read too many cocky and ignorant marine posts is to stay away from the USMC. Don't waste any of your time or lose your life on such an outfit that creates such arrogant boys.
If you are a marine with an attitude that opposes things that will save lives, you need not worry about a dead Army General slapping you, you have the dozens of family members you betrayed to answer to. Tell them about how marines don't need tracked armor in Iraq.
Mike Sparks, the Marines don't like you either..........2004-07-08
Sparks(AKA "Sam Damon,jr"),
Making an ethos statement and trying to shore up your own self-worth by dragging down brave men who are fighting and dying in Iraq, shows you weren't worthy of the chance the USMC gave you, and proves their judgement sound in not giving you the responsibility of leading a Marine rifle platoon.
I'm an Army man, myself, but your constant attacks on a noble and respected Service disgust me.
BTW, you are the only person on -EARTH- who calls the M113 the "Gavin". If General Gavin were alive today, he'd jap slap you.
Col MacGregor's warnings ignored: marine debacle at Fallujah.......2004-05-29
Current events show who is "transforming" and heeding Colonel MacGregor's advice and who are not. Clearly, the marines are in the "not" category as they tried repeatedly to move into Fallujah on foot without tracked tanks and were repulsed by heavy casualties. There is no room in 21st century warfare for hubris; marines have clearly not read and embraced Colonel MacGregor's book because they still cling to fantasies of romantic, low-grade, lemming foot-infantry on a non-linear battlefield (NLB) populated by RPGs, roadside bombs and AKMs in every household. When the marines quit beating their chests and get rid of their Stryker (LAV-1s) wheeled trucks and stop wasting our nation's amphibious ship capacity with even more trucks then they will have applied Colonel MacGregor's sage advice.
In contrast, in a temporary basis, the U.S. Army 1st Armored Division has successfully squeezed the opposition in Najaf without a lot of flag-draped coffins.
How?
By using lots of M1 Abrams heavy, M2 Bradley and M113 Gavin light tracked tanks to move around the NLB. The question now will the Army realize that on the NLB no one should be riding in a wheeled truck and take the necessary steps to upgrade the thousands of M113 Gavins with RPG and roadside-bomb resistant armor, gunshields it has, to achieve this quickly and at low costs, or will the Army continue to tinker with handfuls of trucks that they hide in a quiet corner of Iraq, hogging up all funds?
I guess this will be all covered in Colonel MacGregor's next book!
