General
David
Petraeus
is
the
most
transformative
leader
the
American
military
has
seen
since
the
generation
of
Marshall.
In
All
In,
military
expert
Paula
Broadwell
examines
Petraeus's
career,
his
intellectual
development
as a
military
officer,
and
his
impact
on
the
U.S.
military.
Afforded
extensive
access
by
General
Petraeus,
his
mentors,
his
subordinates,
and
his
longtime
friends,
Broadwell
embedded
with
the
general,
his
headquarters
staff,
and
his
soldiers
on
the
front
lines
of
fighting
and
at
the
strategic
command
in
Afghanistan
to
chronicle
the
experiences
of
this
American
general
as
they
were
brought
to
bear
in
the
terrible
crucible
of
war.
All
In
draws
on
hundreds
of
hours
of
exclusive
interviews
with
Petraeus
and
his
top
officers
and
soldiers
to
tell
the
inside
story
of
this
commander's
development
and
leadership
in
war
form
every
vantage
point.
Broadwell
ultimately
appraises
Petraeus's
impact
on
the
entire
U.S.
military:
Thanks
to
this
man's
influence,
the
military
is
better
prepared
to
fight
using
a
comprehensive
blend
of
civil-military
activities.
As
America
surveys
a
decade
of
untraditional
warfare,
this
much
is
clear:
The
career
of
General
David
Petraeus
profoundly
shaped
our
military
and
left
an
indelible
mark
on
its
rising
leaders.

Biography:
Paula Broadwell is a research associate at Harvard University's Center for Public Leadership and a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of War Studies, King's College London. She spent much of the past year in Afghanistan as an embedded author, extending her doctoral dissertation on transformational leadership and organizational innovation based on the career of U.S. Army General David Petraeus. The result is Paula's highly anticipated portrait of Petraeus as commander and her chronicle of the Afghan war-All In: The Education of General David Petraeus.
Paula's passion for leadership and security policy stems from her background in the U.S. military and her academic pursuits. She graduated with academic, fitness, and leadership honors from the United States Military Academy at West Point. She has lived, worked, or traveled in more than 60 countries during more than fifteen years of military service and work in geopolitical analysis and counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations. She has served with the U.S. intelligence community, U.S. Special Operations Command, and FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces. Paula earned an M.A. with honors from the University of Denver's Josef Korbel School of International Studies and an MPA degree from Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government. She previously wrote for the Kings of War and Foreign Policy's Best Defense blogs, and she has published op-eds in The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Christian Science Monitor, and The Boston Globe. She has also written chapters in books on counterinsurgency, transformational leadership, and women in defense, and has contributed to national TV networks, BBC radio, and NPR on similar topics.
