All In: The Education of General David Petraeus by Paula Broadwell, Vernon Loeb

Description

General David Petraeus is the most transformative leader the American military has seen since the generation of Marshall. In the “New York Times” bestseller “All In,” military expert Paula Broadwell examines Petraeus’s career, his intellectual development as a military officer, and his impact on the U.S. military.
When Petraeus assumed command in Afghanistan in July 2010, the conflict looked as bleak as at any moment in America’s nine years on the ground there. Petraeus’s defining idea counterinsurgency was immediate put to its most difficult test: the hard lessons learned during the surge in Iraq were to be applied in a radically different theater. “All In “examines the impact in Afghanistan of new counterinsurgency as well as counterterrorism strategies through the commands of several Petraeus proteges.
