General David Petraeus in 2006.Robinson uses key figures and incidents to build up a dramatic and incisive examination not only of the war in Iraq, but of the rapidly changing face of modern warfare. This critically important book will be relevant for anyone interested in military history, and the Iraq War, for years to come.
