Bacevich, New York Times Book Review 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
