Description

General Stanley McChrystal, commander of international and US forces in Afghanistan, was living large, with staff calling him a 'rock star.' Journalist Michael Hastings of Rolling Stone looked on as McChrystal and his staff let off steam, partying and openly bashing the Obama administration. When Hastings' piece appeared a few months later, it set off a political firestorm: McChrystal was ordered to Washington, where he was unceremoniously fired. Hastings gives us a shocking behind-the-scenes portrait of Allied military commanders, their high-stakes manoeuvres and often bitter bureaucratic in-fighting.

Professional reviews

"Six rollercoaster weeks that brought down America's top general, from the Rolling Stone journalist who broke the story. “An insightful look at how powerful some of the US's top generals really are, and also unwraps some of the chaos behind allied military command and the so-called 'war on terror'.” THE SUNDAY BUSINESS POST “Hastings offers a fiercely intelligent analysis of how the American military spun the war in Afghanistan.” THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH"
