David petraeus education

Lieutenant stephen petraeus biography all in the family Petraeus's defining idea—counterinsurgency—was immediate put to its most difficult test: the hard lessons learned during the surge in Iraq were to be applied in a radically different theater. As America surveys a decade of untraditional warfare, this much is clear: The career of General David Petraeus profoundly shaped our military and left an indelible mark on its rising leaders. As he leaves Afghanistan for his new post at the CIA, Petraeus's theory of warfare will redefine our military and our intelligence community for decades to come. My Share of the Task.

Book Summary and Reviews of All In by Paula Broadwell, Vernon Loeb

Media Reviews

"The narrative is difficult to track because of shifting time elements and sporadic sections of battleground details, but Broadwell provides a first-rate education about the modern American military for outsiders." - Kirkus Reviews

"Relying on hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews with Petraeus and his top officers and soldiers, Broadwell tells the story of one of the top military leaders of our time." - Library Journal

"General Petraeus is one of the most important Americans of our time, in or out of uniform.

This riveting, insider's account of his life and education is at once instructive and inspiring." - Tom Brokaw, Anchor and Managing Editor, NBC Nightly News; author of The Greatest Generation

"This majestic biography will set the standard for all future works about General Petraeus. With superb narrative skill, Broadwell simultaneously provides an intimate look at Petraeus the man, a fascinating account of modern warfare, and an elegant study of leadership." - Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of No Ordinary Time and Team of Rivals

"Teddy Roosevelt once said that it is not enough to be intelligent; a leader must also be honest and fearless.

In General David Petraeus (himself a T.R. fan), America has been fortunate to have a soldier-scholar who is all three. Paula Broadwell, soldier-scholar in her own right, tells the Petraeus story masterfully, providing especially rich detail and insight into his Afghanistan mission. This book helps us understand how Petraeus has become the living legend he is." - David Gergen, Director, Harvard Kennedy School Center for Public Leadership; author of Eyewitness to Power
