As auto biography, there is little to make it stand out from any other four star flag officer. Myers is very careful through-out the work to keep his personal views to himself. He is strong on duty and taking all assignments as duty. His recounting of his time as Assistant Chief and Chief of the JCS is just that, and emotionless. It is the last two chapters where he speaks to the immediate and long future that he puts forth his own ideas. With six years at the very top, he evidences a good feel for international terrorism, and his recommendations for dealing with it. Some of his thoughts are bold but most are logical progressions in thought. His one significant criticism is the draw-down of forces during the Clinton years. I would recommend this book, not to settle any disputes of the Bush incurrsion into Afganistan or Iraq but to give yet an additional point of view. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
General Richard B. Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the four years following September 11, 2001, looks back over his career and provides a candid, revealing insider's view of the war on terror and proposing a bold new plan that will prepare America for the diverse national security challenges of the 21st century. Growing up in Kansas, Myers, a distinguished Air Force officer for more than forty years, learned early the value of steadfast integrity and selfless service. Here, he talks candidly about his career in the military, the unforgettable events of September 11, and the global war on terror. He outlines the mistakes made by the White House, Pentagon leadership, and the intelligence community. Myers believes that America has focused too narrowly on tactical battles, instead of on a long-range strategy that will overcome a global insurgency fueled by a struggle for control within Islam.--From publisher description.
