My Share of the Task: A Memoir

摘要

Forget everything you have read in the press about General Stanley McChrystal. Media obsessions with events arising from whispers in Parisian bars are about as irrelevant to the conduct of modern special operations as Patton's slapping a soldier in Italy was to victory in Europe. This book is essential reading for several categories of reader: anyone interested in innovation in military affairs; staff officers (all echelons) interested in 'ops-intel' integration; counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency practitioners and theorists; and those interested in Special Operations Forces (SOF).
