"Bolger's honesty is refreshing...Recounting combat actions in Iraq
and Afghanistan, those stories testify to the bravery,
resourcefulness and resolve of the American soldiers."
--Andrew J. Bacevich, New York Times Book Review "Compelling."
--Wall Street Journal "Hard-hitting." --Time "I am glad to see
someone of [Bolger's] caliber tackling this subject." --Tom Ricks,
ForeignPolicy.com, author of Fiasco: The American Military
Adventure In Iraq
"With vigorous, no-nonsense prose and an impressive clarity of
vision, this general does not mince blame in this chronicle of
failure."--Kirkus, starred review
