出版商概要
"New York Times Notable Book of the Year"<br><p><br> James Traub, "New York Times Book Review", October 5, 2008<br> ."..the first book about this new Iraq. It's a first-rate piece of work, probing and conscientious."<br> <p><br>David Kirkpatrick, "The New York Times", October 26, 2008<br> "an admiring account of the troop "surge" in Iraq that Mr. McCain was among the first to embrace."<br> <p><br>Colonel Gregory Fontenot, "Military Review", November/December issue<br> "As a rule, hyperbole is permissible for the 'blurbs' on the jacket of books and not in reviews, but in the case of Linda Robinson's "Tell Me How This Ends", it's a hard one to follow. Robinson's book is among the best written about the war in Iraq...."<br> <p><br>"Military Times", November 17, 2008<br> "The author who persuaded press-shy Special Forces soldiers to open up in the fascinating "Masters of Chaos: The Secret History of the Special Forces" (PublicAffairs, 2004) has done it again. This time, she persuaded Petraeus -- now head of U.S. Central Command -- and others in Iraq to talk, and she listened. And evidently, she took good notes. The result is not as dramatic as "Chaos," but given the themes -- politics and management -- the insights in "Tell Me How This Ends" make the book worthwhile contemporary history and, foremost, military biography."<br><p><br>John Nagl, "Army Magazine", December issue<br>"Likely to remain the best analysis of General Petraeus' role in the decisive years of the war in Iraq short of the general's own memoirs." 再读一些...
