Summary

With the war in Iraq going poorly, General David Petraeus supervised the writing of a new counterinsurgency doctrine in which he put into practice the "surge" that changed the course of the conflict. The duty of a leader, Petraeus proclaims, is to "get the big ideas right." How successful has he been at achieving this aim during his lengthy service in the U.S. Army?
