All In for All In

Take a look at the Amazon.com page for Paula Broadwell’s book on General Petraeus. It reveals her to be amazingly connected — scroll down to the “Editorial Reviews” and the plugs from the likes of Tom Brokaw, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and David Gergen. But the icing on the cake comes from big-foot military writer Thomas E. Ricks, who concludes with this: “All In feels at times like we are sitting at his side in Afghanistan, reading his e-mails over his shoulder.”

I’m not making this up.

Had Mr. Ricks been following the current controversy, perhaps he would have changed "over his shoulder" to "from under his desk".

What to say? Pretty funny.

Ricks did a fine job on "Making the Corp." The rest? Meh. Stick with Stuart Koehl.

Yes, we all feel like we're embedded with his unit in Afghanistan.
