The dagger was first used during early Commando raids into occupied Europe but saw action in every theatre of World War II. US Rangers and Marines who had trained with the Commandos took their Fairbairn-Sykes daggers home which also influenced the development of American Special Forces daggers.

Dr. Thompson often says that "we have possibly made achieving progress in diversity, equity, and inclusion quite a bit more difficult than it may really need to be." Foundations And New Frontiers of Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion attempts to address that problem by providing real clarity in several key areas. For one, it will convey a more precise understanding of the key distinctions between each of these three elements as this is essential to sustainable progress. Secondly, it will gift you with an appreciation of how to normalize the discussion around bias. More often than not, to have bias has been equated with being a "bad person". This creates a huge impediment to any meaningful dialogue, and without dialogue, there will be little or no progress to begin with. A third contribution that you will perhaps appreciate is a comprehensive yet approachable view of how our neurobiology authors the very bias that we abhor. Recognizing the mechanisms by which bias is formed and expressed, equips us with the capacity to minimize cultural collisions and create an empathetic climate. And finally, the tools and strategies for implementing DEI initiatives, as well as, measuring their effectiveness, are worth the read. At the end of the day, DEI becomes something other than a side trip along the journey to organizational effectiveness. It finds itself at the core of what successful organizations already do.
