Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

Amidst all of the criticisms of America's war in Iraq, one essential voice has remained silent . . . until now. In his groundbreaking new memoir, Wiser in Battle , LTG (Ret) Ricardo S. Sanchez, former Commander of Coalition Forces in Iraq, reports back from the front lines of the global War on Terror to provide a comprehensive and chilling exploration of America's historic military and foreign policy blunder. With unflinching candor, Sanchez describes the chaos on the Iraqi battlefield caused by the Bush Administration's misguided command of the military, as well as his own struggle to set the coalition on the path towards victory. Sanchez illuminates the fallout of the communication breakdown between the leadership on the battlefield and the politicians in Washington. The first book written by a former on-site commander in Iraq, Wiser in Battle is essential reading for all who wish to understand the current war and the American military's role in the new century.

Wars are fought thru memos by burrocrats, here's how.
This book proves the adage that Generals tend to plan to fight the last war over again. Sanchez was a career officer for a military that has sworn off violence. Apparently the Vietnam War legacy has turned the USA into a pacifist nation that has no stomach to mount an invasion and get the job done. Far too much micro management occurred w/ Rumsfelt who must have wanted to play soldier from a desk. Any war cannot be fought from behind a desk. Nor can it be fought w/ an eye to exiting the war and making peace w/ the enemy. Too much energy went into launching the two wars against Iraq without disturbing the delicate sensitivities of the American public. Iraq was a foreign war we might see on our TV screens but it was not something for us to change our daily lives; at least not gas or energy ... This book proves the adage that Generals tend to plan to fight the last war over again. Sanchez was a career officer for a military that has sworn off violence. Apparently the Vietnam War legacy has turned the USA into a pacifist nation that has no stomach to mount an invasion and get the job done. Far too much micro management occurred w/ Rumsfelt who must have wanted to play soldier from a desk. Any war cannot be fought from behind a desk. Nor can it be fought w/ an eye to exiting the war and making peace w/ the enemy. Too much energy went into launching the two wars against Iraq without disturbing the delicate sensitivities of the American public. Iraq was a foreign war we might see on our TV screens but it was not something for us to change our daily lives; at least not gas or energy consumption. The Pentagon hoped they could win the war, win the peace and not engage the American public who might disapprove of the ugliness of war; and the public certainly didn't want to bear the incoveniences of gas rationing etc. Sanchez is a unique product of his time. A real Mexican-american who was in touch w/ his culture but convinced of the inherent inferiority of the culture. He writes about growing up a poor Mexican on the Texas border, and visiting relatives who are even more poor in Mexico, then returning to this side silently thankful that he lives here. Sure, we can understand this but as an educated adult why doesn't he provide an explanation for the stark contrast in economics? Why doesn't he condemn the Mexican govt, and society for not developing it's human resources? Instead he accepts the status quo that Mexico and therefore Mexicans will always be poor. Malthus rears its ugly head when Sanchez' infant son is killed in a car crash, the circumstances can only be described as misfortune but the lack of seat belts in a safer car can only be described by the Mexican slang term, ''wah-heh''. The most striking event is when as a retiring general he returns to his hometown in Texas and visits an elementary school. He is greeted as this local boy made good, and he is, yet there he meets a boy hood friend who did not make good. Among the throngs of kids and teachers and well wishers at the school Sanchez spots his boyhood friend who is now the janitor at the school! The fellow was reluctant to greet him feigning that he thought Sanchez might not remember him etc. Sanchez is magnanimous and warm to him, "No worries, we'll always be friends" but it's obvious how different the two are. Sanchez had graduated high school winning and Army scholarship and continued his education throughout his military career, whereas his friend had dropped out of high school to work as a field hand and worked the rest of his life. What a contrast between two boys, coming fromt he same place and ending up so very differently. That is a story we see repeated everyday. America might be the land of opportunity but then why do so many Mexican-Americans fail? Why do our Mexican immigrant counterparts do so much better? I want Sanchez to write a book about this subject.
