Just picked up from the library the book "The Fourth Star" by David Cloud and Greg Jaffe. This book is about four generals and the epic struggle for the future of the United States Army. The four generals are:
General George Casey Jr
General Peter Chiarelli
General David Petraeus
General John Abizaid

The book begins at the start of each man's career and is an excellent portrayal of the US Army's "problems" at the end of the Vietnam war.
It tells their story over four decades and illuminates the path the Army must travel to protect the nation over the next century.

Sounds quite interesting. I'll definitely take a closer look. Nice post.
