Could have fooled me. You seem quite capable at it. I also recommend this book without hesitation. Just look at the amazon reviews. Not a single unfavorable rating. Mullaney should be our next assistant secdef for central asia. He will do well. “I’m not really one for book reviews.“

Moi has to agree w. you re Amazon et. al. dead tree appraisals as u aptly put it. Hemingway called book reviewers "eunuch camp followers" & yikes did he have one sharp tongue! Having seen what some in the liberal press did to my own pro-military & patriotic novels I started thinking of such spume as "inkblots and fly specks." But you showed a good review of a book about war can be done well and can be relevant/useful! John thanks much for a great and valuable book review/suggestion.

Anyone who has ever led men in combat will recognise something in themselves in that book. I believe that Mr. Mullaney has taken a position as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Central Asia in the Obama Administration. It’s an excellent book.
