Customer Reviews: Read 2 more reviews... Strength from within November 12, 2001 4 out of 4 found this review helpful Linda Fisher's testimony brings hope, strength and inspiration. I will soon commission to be an officer in the US Army. Her testimony has given me a broader perspective of the reality of being a young, ambitious and a beautiful female in the military. It may be true that it is a male dominant force, but women have gained a greater respect in the military over time and throughout history. Fisher exposes the reality of what can happen within the ranks of the military between males and females, superiors and subordinates. This type of incident is not new. Throughout history the same, if not similar situations have occurred. We have to understand and realize that this happens in the general society. In businesses and schools, to men and women of all ages in all types of professions. This book, can help anyone understand the adversity faced when put in this situation. It disturbs and affects both parties the harassed and the harasser. I have both witnessed and experienced sexual harassment incidents outside of the military and within the military, I understand the pain and the fear. I am grateful to have read such a testimony that has given me the awareness of what goes on and how to deal with it. (...) Well written Fiction October 3, 1999 1 out of 5 found this review helpful After being witness to many of the incidents that happened in Panama, I am shocked to read that the items printed are written as being true. I think that this book can help alot of women who might actually have been sexually harassed but can not be a guide to the military's judicial process. False information can only be regarded as lies and should not give other military women cause to fear the system. ULTIMATE POWER: This is a MUST READ for everyone!!! April 22, 1999 4 out of 5 found this review helpful I have read ULTIMATE POWER:ENEMY WITHIN THE RANKS and urge anyone, who is shocked by the abuse that women receive, to read this terrific personal account by an army officer who lived this horrible situation. First of all, take the time to read the personal life of Linda Fischer and her climb to the rank of Major in a so called "mans world". Linda has shown how successful a young girl can become by setting a goal and then reaching that pinnacle of success. When you realize what a an enormously loving person she is and then read her account of this harassment, you wonder how these things can go on. The story is so intense and told in the first person, you can actually feel Lindas pain as she explains her own personal feelings and frustrations as the powers to be turn a deaf ear to her 'crys for Justice."..This may be Linda Fischers first attempt at writing, but you won't put this book down, as she allows you to come right with her in the days and events leading up to this atrosity and her frustrations in the months and years that follow. You don't have to be in the military or ever be harrassed, to feel her pain. All you need to understand what Linda went....and is going through, is be a human being .You will love her writing style and be shocked by her account of this true happening. What a fabulous person she must be.....first to live this experience and then to put it in terms that ALL of us can understand. Is this a 5 star book? Its a 10 Star......READ IT and you'll see why!!!!! Gives hope to those who have endured the pain of harassment. March 15, 1999 3 out of 4 found this review helpful Ultimate Power, Enemy Within the Ranks is a must read for those of us who have suffered through the pain, humiliation and stigma associated with reporting sexual harassment within the U.S. Army. Although I am a civilian employee of the U.S. Army, who was the victim of sexual harassment by a supervisor, coincidentally, at the same Army post where Fischer now serves, it is utimately the Commanding Officer's within the command who make decisions about how the case is handled when harassment charges are brought against an accused harasser. The unspoken of policy of sweeping these cases under the carpet is the Army's way of dealing with harassment and just like the Fischer case, my harasser was allowed to quietly retire with full benefits. Fischer has brought to light the further victimization women must face when asserting their rights in sexual harassment cases. Reading this book brought back painful memories, but it also sparked a shimmer of hope that a meaninful life does exist after being sexually harassed within the U.S. Army. I now know I am not alone. I recommed it for all employees of the Armed Forces, military as well as civilian. Thank God we have women like Linda Fischer to step forward for what is right........ A true account of sexual assualt in the US Army March 15, 1999 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I am a retired US Army LTC--Military Police Corps and personal know Major Fischer. As a Lt., she worked for me at West Point. She was a bright, energetic and competent young officer with a future in the Army. Since my retirement, we have been in contact through cards and phone calls. Not until this year, did she ever mention to me that she had been sexual assualted by her supervisor. However, I can now related to several of her phone calls which requested information about individuals. After my retirement from the Army, I was Chief of Police at the University of Kentucky for 10 years. I am very familar with the area of sexual assualts and all the new titles we have attached to these situation. I believe Major Fischer's account of the incident. It took great courage on her part to report the incident and write this book. It appears that after all the Army's problems with this area, it final has taken some appropriate measures to address this area. My hope is that this book will help others and give hope to those who have had to deal with sexual assualts.
