Tell Me How This Ends: General David Petraeus and the Search for a Way Out of Iraq

Description

After many missteps made from the invasion in 2003 through 2006, the White House appointed General Petraeus as the top commander in Iraq, initiating a new strategy and a new approach to prosecuting the war. Tell Me How This Ends is an inside account of General David Petraeuss attempt to turn around a failing war. Bestselling author Linda Robinson had unprecedented access to Petraeus, interviewing him and sitting in on his daily briefings. She also has extensive experience in Iraq, embedding herself with key U. S. and Iraqi divisions, and talking with brigade and battalion commanders who were responsible for Baghdad. The result is the only book that ties together military operations in Iraq and the internecine political drama that is at the heart of the civil war.
