There are a few sentences in the first appendix that explain, in his resignation letter, that he felt the current administration had lost faith with the nation's allies. That’s one of THE most useful books I’ve ever read in my life, and I feel like it’s timing couldn’t have been better. Mattis told the Centcom that he could end Zarqawi off completely. As Mattis moved up the ranks, interaction with Congress, the White House and civilian Pentagon leadership became a norm, although not necessarily a welcome one. Centcom – US Central Command – gave the go-ahead. On the 11th of September 2001, the morning began like every other morning. To the general, proof positive lay in the failure to respond to an Iranian plot to bomb Cafe Milano, a restaurant just miles from the White House, and assassinate the Saudi ambassador. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. He broadcasted in October 2011 that the entire US troops would be departing the country during the end of the year, assuring to leave behind a “steady and independent Iraq.”. A retired general named Tony Zinniand who was a mentor to Mattis teased that he would deny his protégé if he didn’t go to Baghdad in six weeks. This is one of those I believe should be read by most people in business, as it has lots of great advice on how you lead people in order to achieve an objective. Amazingly, he escaped with just a few cracked ribs. Imagine being a general in not one, but three major wars within 30 years. When he was a boy, he would hunt down rabbits in the hills of their environment with an ancient 22 rifle. There are insights scattered throughout. Sanctions made the country’s economy fall and the US was in charge of the Iraqi airspace. 1 MEF was sent on a war front and sent to Egypt to wait for orders. Once again, when the authority changed the option and moved the elections, the military leaders had to awkwardly explain this setback. He said the US has to be “tough as hell.” Fallujah was being aimed at by a gun. He knew that he wanted to surround himself with men of the same. This was a model military campaign, different from the two wars after Mattis participated in – Afghanistan and Iraq. Here’s the short version of this review. I enjoyed the personal tales of what worked and, most importantly, a candid observation of what the Mattis’ failures were and how he leveraged those experiences for the next time. A newly promoted two-star Major General now led the 1st Marine Division. The US had precise goals and used all required action to accomplish them. It’s the winter of 1971 and Jim Mattis, newly graduated from college and wondering what to do with his life, is on a hiking trip. In an age of political tell-alls from former cabinet officials, it’s refreshing to have a more subdued memoir about Mattis’s military career, philosophy, and leadership strategy.
