"In this very important book, author Patrick Robinson shows how the culture of our military is imperiled by a high command that too frequently allows political correctness to trump honor and common sense... I was shocked--as a Navy veteran and defense lawyer."--Ray V. Hartwell III, Washington Times "If you are looking for a strong read, this is a no-brainer."--Sacramento Book Review "Should be required reading for all military personnel today."--American Spectator "Written in an even--keeled, reportorial style, the book tells a story...that certainly needs to be told... Guaranteed to raise eyebrows and spark debate."--Booklist Kirkus Reviews, 11/1/13 "Robinson ably discusses the intricacies of military justice...Captures the folly and resource drain of the Iraq War...Should appeal to conservative readers."
