Well written historical overview of the Iraq & Afghan wars. There is some "inside" accounts of political & military machinations, but mostly it provides insight into the wars.

I read this. While he unflinchingly catalogued our failures, I felt it was more than a little condescending that he linked them across time and levels of command as an indictment. He also offered little in the way of alternative strategy or operational art to remedy any of it.

Hindsight is always 20/20... didn't see it as an indictment, more of a cautionary tale.
