A General's Inside Account of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars

摘要

Engineers and all members of the profession of arms should read this book. Yes, it will frustrate and upset you. Yes, the declaration that we "lost" in Iraq and Afghanistan is somewhat premature, especially in light of our extended commitments to Afghanistan's security after 2014 and the new commitments of the United States and its allies to help Iraq confront Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant terrorist threats. But in reading this book, you will be reminded of many universal truths applicable to engineers and Army professionals engaged in current and future conflicts. The book will contribute to the reader's professional self-development and aid in the personal reflections that everyone engaged in these conflicts would be well advised to ponder.
