takes us on to the front lines with the new warrior-diplomats who

every American should come to know."

complexities of military missions worldwide, Robert Kaplan exposes
the reader to the world of the modern soldier, sailor, airman, and
Marine. A must read for both civilian and military leaders."

for all Americans."
