Robinson, L: One Hundred Victories

Admiral William McRaven, Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, on NPR's "The National Conversation""Folks within the Special Operations community listen to Linda Robinson, and when they listen to her I listen to them.... When you listen to what she has to say and the power of her arguments, it's hard to argue with her. Linda, thanks for all the great work you've done."Admiral Eric Olson, U.S. Navy (Retired), Former Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command"Linda Robinson has again accurately captured the unique spirit, competence and complexity of special operations forces. As a long-time, close-up observer of SOF in action, Linda understands the organizations, capabilities and personalities that make them so effective in ambiguous and dangerous situations. I highly regarded her careful analysis and honest presentation of the facts and issues that dominate SOF's deployments and missions. Her writing is streamlined, very readable and thoroughly enjoyable."Seth G. Jones, author of "In the Graveyard of Empires: America's War in Afghanistan""Linda Robinson has written a lucid and superbly-informed account of U.S. special operations forces in Afghanistan."Peter Bergen, author of "Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for bin Laden from 9/11 to Abbottabad""Linda Robinson is well established as one of the leading experts on the US military. In "One Hundred Victories" she again turns her attention to the Special Forces that were the subject of her first book. Robinson delivers a deeply reported, well written account of the recant history of Special Forces and how they will likely shape the future of the US military long into the future."
