BOOK OF THE WEEK

The Fourth Star: Four Generals and the Epic Struggle for the Future of the United States Army

by Gregg Jaffe and David Cloud.

The book is a fascinating insight into today's Army, written by Gregg Jaffe and David Cloud. Jaffe is the Pentagon correspondent for the Washington Post and Cloud has covered military affairs for the New York Times and Politico.com. The book looks at the four generals who turned the Iraq war from a quagmire into something resembling success. It's an intricately detailed portrait of this quartet - their management styles, their philosophies, and how they all rose to the top of the military establishment.
