In her new book, Linda Robinson gives an inside account of Gen. David Petraeus’ attempt to turn around the war and lays out the options that the next president will face. Robinson has made ten extended trips to Iraq and spent a total of ten months on the ground since the war began. For this book, she interviewed Iraqi leaders, Iraqi and US troops at all levels from Petraeus to privates.
