In All In: The Education of General David Petraeus, Paula Broadwell and Vernon Loeb examine Petraeus’s career, his intellectual development as a military officer, and his impact on the U.S. military.  Inherent in the story are salient lessons of transformational leadership -- inspirational insights for everyone from CEOs to young lieutenants. While conducting research over the past three years, Broadwell was afforded extensive access by General Petraeus, his mentors, his subordinates, and his longtime friends. In addition to presenting a portrait of the strategic challenges of modern warfare from Petraeus's perspective and providing unique biographical snapshots of his development, All In chronicles the outcome in Afghanistan of counterinsurgency strategies through the operational commands of several Petraeus protégés, with special emphasis on those who, like Petraeus, served with the 101st Airborne Division. As America surveys a decade of untraditional warfare, All In shows that this much is clear:  the career of General David Petraeus profoundly shaped our military and left an indelible mark on the next generation's leaders.  Paula Broadwell is a research associate at Harvard University's Center for Public Leadership and a PhD candidate in the Department of War Studies at King's College London. She graduated with academic and leadership honors from the United States Military Academy at West Point.
