Publisher's Synopsis
During a 2010 trip across Europe to garner additional support for the Afghanistan war effort, General Stanley McChrystal was accompanied by journalist Michael Hastings. For days, Hastings looked on as McChrystal and his staff let off steam, partying and openly bashing the Obama administration for what they saw as a lack of leadership. In 'The Operators', Hastings gives us a shocking portrait of Allied military commanders, their high-stakes manoeuvres and the often bitter bureaucratic in-fighting.
