Mullaney wrote The Unforgiving Minute: A Soldier’s Education, an autobiographical look at preparing for the responsibility of leading men in combat and the hard-won lessons of that experience. In advance of its publication on February 19, 2009, it received critical praise from an array of leading political and military figures. Since publication it has received favorable reviews from publications including The New York Times. Times reviewer Janet Maslin noted the "searing detail" of the Afghanistan combat description, and concluded that the memoir's "impact" comes from its account of "the inner journey of a man who is at first eager to learn as much as he can from service and scholarship. Later on he learns from his mistakes."

Famous quotes containing the word author:
“Can an author with reason complain that he is cramped and shackled if he is not at liberty to publish blasphemy, bawdry, or sedition? all of which are equally prohibited in the freest governments, if they are wise and well-regulated ones.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“I hate the actor and audience business. An author should be in among the crowd, kicking their shins or cheering them on to some mischief or merriment.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The world is forever babbling of originality; but there never yet was an original man, in the sense intended by the world; the first man himself—who according to the Rabbins was also the first author—not being an original; the only original author being God.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
