"All In": "embedded" and other "double meanings"



'Broadwell Embedded With the General': Double Meanings on Amazon.com

All In: The Education of General David Petraeus



Comment: The list


  • "Broadwell embedded with the general"
  • "[an] insider's account"
  • "Broadwell simultaneously provides an intimate look at Petraeus the man"
  • "Broadwell captures his basic tenets of counterinsurgency and basic approach to leadership-as well as Petraeus's personal qualities and character"
  • "Paula Broadwell takes readers into the briefing rooms"
  • "It is fascinating and insightful, informed by remarkable access to the man both on and off the battlefield."
  • "It is written with an insider's lively understanding of the workings of today's Army. I've known David Petraeus since he was a colonel and written two books in which he appeared, but I still learned a lot about him from this book. All In feels at times like we are sitting at his side in Afghanistan, reading his e-mails over his shoulder."
