An insider tale of the adaptation process the US Army had to undergo to attain a victory in Iraq. I found extremely interesting the significant role played by Rhodes scholars and other brilliant minds, military or civilian.

My only complain is with the last quarter of the book being a constant repetition of points the author have already made before without adding any extra data, the aforementioned part of the book also includes a two paragraph simplistic explanation of China behavior in the UN security council is strangely out of place in a book full of well based arguments.
