Abstract
General: Obama's Wars under review tells the inside story of Obama
making the critical decisions on Afghanistan War, the clandestine
missions in Pakistan and the worldwide fight against terrorism. The
books is a chronological compilation of quotes and paraphrases that
Woodward has selected to demonstrate how the decision making process
in this case actually worked. The book portrays the complicated process
that led to President Obama to increase the level of U.S. troops deployed
to Afghanistan in support of the so-called "surge strategy."
At the core of Obama's Wars is the unsettled division between the
civilian leadership in the White House and the United States military as
the president is thwarted in his efforts to craft an exit plan for the
Afghanistan War. The book gives an insight into the ‘Review of Afghan
Strategy’ by US President Obama, and the underlying currents and
frictions between civilian administration and military hierarchy. It also
highlights the complexities of war and the emerging feelings and fears of
failure of fighting a war initiated without specific aims and objectives.
