A New York Times bestseller! An epic history of the decline of American military leadership—from the bestselling author of Fiasco and Churchill and Orwell.While history has been kind to the American generals of World War II—Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley—it has been less kind to the generals of the wars that followed, such as Koster, Franks, Sanchez, and Petraeus. In The Generals, Thomas E. Ricks sets out to explain why that is. In chronicling the widening gulf between performance and accountability among the top brass of the U.S. military, Ricks tells the stories of great leaders and suspect ones, generals who rose to the occasion and generals who failed themselves and their soldiers. In Ricks’s hands, this story resounds with larger meaning: about the transmission of values, about strategic thinking, and about the difference between an organization that learns and one that fails.

At this time of writing, The Mobi The Generals: American Military Command from World War II to Today has garnered 10 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Mobi is Good TO READ!

Oh, Mr. Ricks. Those publisher-imposed page minimums are rough, aren't they?When I started this book, I couldn't put it down. I'd grown sick and tired of the Patton love, and was elated that someone was appreciating the subtle leadership and political maturity of a man like George Marshall. Yep, Thomas Ricks gets it. It's right there on the page.The book continued into a fascinating exploration of the Korean War. Here, Mr. Ricks' thesis is strong. He is able to provide all manner of examples where exemplary generalship, unnoticed today, was the difference between life and death for thousands of soldiers. Then we go off the rails.You know when you were in college and you got assigned a 10-page paper? You didn't know what it would be about, so you threw down a thesis in the first paragraph and wound up twisting all kinds of facts to make it fit by the end? And you were making sentences needlessly wordy so you could hit the 10 page mark? That's this book.From Vietnam on forth, Mr. Ricks completely loses his sense. Criticism of generals becomes the point, nuance is lost, and any fair reader will get the sense that Ricks is cherry-picking the careers of one or two generals to make a point that no longer holds. Best example: Mr. Ricks finds Norman Schwarzkopf directly responsible for the American failure to invade Iraq in the winter of 1991. Not, you know, the President of the United States. Or the United Nations. Or even the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Nope, Mr. Ricks is here to hold the CENTCOM commander to account for his failure to unilaterally invade a sovereign nation.It goes on like that. Like some other recent books (Edward Jean Smith's George W. Bush biography being the best example), this is another author who does great work in analyzing the distant past and gets lost in his own vendetta while writing about recent events.
