Not only does it cover most of the history of the Iraq- and Afghanistan wars, which are important enough in themselves. It also provides a compellingly written case study of organizational culture and what it takes to change it. As such, the book is relevant for everybody involved with managing or changing large, tradition-focussed, conservative organizations. On top of it all, it covers important aspects of knowledge management in large organizations; and the US armed forces being a fairly transparent and well documented outfit, there is ample literature available to read in connection with this book. no reviews | add a review

Especially relevant given that we're finally drawing a line under Afghanistan and getting out, a decision which should have happened in 2001 or latest 2002. ( )
