Attribution
John F. Ross
Publication Details
Book, Bantam Books, 2009
Description
Hailed as the father of today?s elite special forces, Robert Rogers was not only a wilderness warrior but North America?s first noteworthy playwright and authentic celebrity. Ross reconstructs the extraordinary achievements of this fearless and inspiring leader whose exploits in the early New England wilderness read like those of an action hero and whose innovative principles of unconventional warfare are still used today. The child of marginalized Scots-Irish immigrants, Robert Rogers learned to survive in New England?s dark and deadly forests, grasping, as did few others, that a new world required new forms of warfare.

The Gamble : General David Petraeus And The American Military Adventure In Iraq, 2006-2008

Attribution
Thomas E. Ricks
Publication Details
Book, Penguin Press, 2009
Links
- Publisher description
- Contributor biographical information
Description
Ricks uses hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews with top officers in Iraq and extraordinary on-the-ground reportage to document the inside story of the Iraq War since late 2005 as only he can, examining the events that took place as the military was forced to reckon with itself, the surge was launched, and a very different war began. Many of Petraeus?s closest advisers went to Iraq extremely pessimistic, doubting that the surge would have any effect, and his own boss was so skeptical that he dispatched an admiral to Baghdad in the summer of 2007 to come up with a strategy to replace Petraeus?s.
