Powell, USA (Ret.) , Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-1993) and 65th Secretary of StateAnatomy of Failure is part Von Clausewitz, part Tom Clancy, with personal insights by Harlan K. Ullman that brilliantly translate why the United States, the most powerful nation on earth, has so often fallen short of its objectives. -- Michael Lord Dobbs, creator of the series House of CardsWhy, since the end of World War II, has the United States either lost every war it started or failed in every military intervention it prosecuted?Harlan Ullman's new book answers this most disturbing question, a question Americans would never think of even asking because this record of failure has been largely hidden in plain sight or forgotten with the passage of time.
