Description
General David Petraeus and the Search for a Way Out of Iraq by Linda Robinson. In 2006, the White House appointed General David Petraeus as the Commanding General of the coalition forces in Iraq. This marked a turning point in the war, as Petraeus sought to turn around a failing conflict. Through extensive interviews with Petraeus and his subordinate commanders, as well as weeks spent with key U.S. and Iraqi divisions, Robinson provides an inside account of this pivotal moment. The result is a detailed narrative that weaves together military operations in Iraq with the complex political drama driving the civil war. The book offers a nuanced analysis of the challenges faced by Petraeus and his team, and the options that will shape the next president's approach when they take office in January 2009. With dramatic battles, behind-the-scenes confrontations, and astute analysis, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the Iraq War's endgame.
