Review title: Inside the Planning of Afganistan and Iraq
Product review: Learning how an army youth elevated himself up to the rank of General is fascinating enough, but this book goes further by getting fairly specific into the planning of Afganistan and Iraq.For Iraq there were 3 related areas of discussion that are noteworthy: 1. The overwhelming assumption that Saddamn had WMDs and would use them. 2. Speed and flexibility would be necessary to counter this threat by taking initiative from the enemy. 3. The potential problem of "catastrophic success" when a power vaccuum was created in one of the worlds most corrupt regions.Franks' interactions with Bush, Rumsfeld, and other leaders foreign and domestic are memorable, and it was intersting how little the news media was told about the wars, especially when the press started to panic just a few weeks into both Afganistan and Iraq. Whether or not you agree with these wars, you will learn more about them by reading the accounts of their military commander.
