Mechanical breakdowns, very limited visibility due to stirred up dust, and a chopper accidently hitting a stationary C-130 resulted in the mission being canceled and the deaths of 8 Americans. While President Carter quickly took responsibility, Bacevich points out that the myriad errors in design and execution were attributable to the military professionals involved.Bacevich also points out that Carter's predecessors going back to WWII had done him n. 0 resulted in the mission being canceled and the deaths of 8 Americans.

"The definitive analysis of our Iliad in the middle east" according to PM. This is the most incisive military analysis of America in the Middle East from Carter to Obama. An expose of the self seeking and self promoting actions of our generals and politicians and the fatuous neoconservative militarism which presently guides the foreign policy of our country. Brilliant! There is no better exposition of the delusion associated with the self proclamation of critically strategic areas of the world which before the end of the Cold War held absolutely no importance whatsoever to our well being.

" I highly recommend Andrew Bacevich's latest book bcodding Whether there a Republican president in 2017 or a Democrat, there will be another war, another chapter in "America's War for the Greater Middle East."

He holds a PhD in American diplomatic history from Princeton. As a historian, he has direct experience in the matters o
foreign policy and any consequent decisions to employ military force. He presents sobering evidence that for nearly four decades the nation’s leaders have demonstrated ineptitude at nearly every turn as they shaped and attempted to implement Middle East policy. These wars have, as Bacevich writes, laid bare the folly of attempting to use military force as a form of political, economic, and social control. Kaplan, The Wall Street Journal “A critical review of American policy and military involvement Those familiar with Bacevich’s work will recognize the clarity of expression, the devastating directness and the coruscating wit that char
Bacevich is a retired professor of history and international relations at Boston University. His three most recent books—Breach of Trust, Washington Rules, and The Limits of Power—all hit the New York Times bestseller list. Military Academy, he served for twenty-three years as a commissioned
But as this new war unfolded, hostilities became persistent. Marine Corps (Ret.). Few achieved anything remotely like conclusive success. Connecting the dots in a way no other historian has done before, Bacevich weaves a compelling narrative out of episodes as varied as the Beirut bombing of 1983, the Mogadishu firefight of 1993, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the rise of ISIS in the present decade. During the 1980s, Bacevich argues, a great transition occurred. Understanding what America’s costly military exertions have wrought requires seeing these seemingly discrete events as parts of a single war. Instead, action
