The profiles of Abizaid, Casey, Chiarelli and Petraeus are nuanced and well drawn; the generals really come to life, as does the Army itself....As [the book] makes clear, it was only the efforts of Generals Petraeus and Chiarelli, and other like-minded officers, that saved America from a cataclysm in the Middle East." Publisher's noteProfiles four influential army generals including John Abizaid, George Casey, Peter Chiarelli, and David Petraeus, documenting their insights into the Middle East and military strategy, the personal factors that shaped their careers, and the resistance they faced by the Bush administration. AnnotationDavid Cloud and Greg Jaffe provide a cunning and compelling analysis of the Iraq War by focusing on the experiences and contributions of four of the Army's most renowned and decorated generals--Gen. John Abizaid, Gen. George Casey Jr., Gen. Peter Chiarelli, and Gen. David Petraeus. The authors openly and repeatedly invoke the specter of Vietnam, which still haunts the American military and these four men in particular, as each of them has valiantly struggled to renovate the U.S. Army for 21st-century combat, based on harsh lessons from the past. Cloud and Joffe do a fantastic job of constructing the experience and credentials of these modern day warriors, before revealing how their considerable skills and expertise were often negated in Iraq by the incompetence and inflexibility of their commanders within the Bush cabinet. A moving, inside account of military life in peace and battle, this work follows the rise of four officers who join a beaten Army after Vietnam and help rebuild its ranks, only to see their institution again facing defeat in Iraq. b&w insert.
