'General McChrystal is a legendary warrior with a fine eye for
enduring lessons about leadership, courage, and consequence' -Tom
Brokaw General Stanley McChrystal is widely admired for his hunger
to know the truth, his courage to find it, and his humility to
listen to those around him. Even as the commanding officer of all
U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan, he stationed himself
forward and frequently went on patrols with his troops to
experience their challenges firsthand. In this illuminating New
York Times bestseller, McChrystal frankly explores the major
episodes and controversies of his career. He describes the many
outstanding leaders he served with and the handful of bad leaders
he learned not to emulate. And he paints a vivid portrait of how
the military establishment turned itself, in one generation, into
the adaptive, resilient force that would soon be tested in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and the wider War on Terror. 'A compelling account of
his impressive career' -The Wall Street Journal 'This is a
brilliant book about leadership wrapped inside a fascinating
personal narrative' -Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs Stanley
McChrystal retired in July 2010 as a four-star general in the U.S.
Army. His last assignment was as the commander of the International
Security Assistance Force and as the commander of U.S. forces in
Afghanistan. He is currently a senior fellow at Yale University's
Jackson Institute for Global Affairs and cofounder of the
McChrystal Group, a leadership consulting firm. He and his wife,
Annie, live in Virginia.
