A book recommendation from the Commander-in-Chief himself.

Over vacation, I read a book of short stories by Phil Klay called Redeployment. And it's a quick but powerful and, for me, painful set of stories about the experience of ordinary soldiers in Iraq. And I think it's a reminder, particularly important for a Commander-in-Chief, that the antiseptic plans and decisions and strategies and opining of pundits that take place in Washington is very different from war and conflict as it's experienced by people on the ground.
