Davis’ credibility is proven throughout the book and his sincerity should never be in doubt. His stories from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq over three decades inform and illustrate his thesis and solutions. And, unlike so many active duty and retired generals and admirals, think tank pundits and politicians, Davis has been correct in his opinions and analysis for years.
If you have any doubt of Davis’ credibility or sincerity, look up the front page profile of Davis in The NY Times, written by Scott Shane in 2012, about Davis’ courageous and honest effort to alert Congress with proof the Pentagon was lying about the war in Afghanistan. Davis was, of course, vindicated in 2019 with the publication of the Afghan Papers by the Washington Post, as well as though the failure of the war, but that does nothing to amend the suffering, waste and folly of war that could have been averted if Davis was not ignored.
There’s no sycophantic praise in this book for military leaders or politicians, and there is no holding back from critical, harsh and valid criticism of US foreign policy and military operations. This is a book, written by a conservative Republican, that anyone horrified and outraged at the wars of this century should read, and it should be shared with anyone who is not cognizant of the very real dangers that lie ahead for the US and the world if US foreign and military policies are not changed.

But ultimately, it’s Davis's abhorrence of the “forever wars” that have entangled the U.S. that shines through his narrative. He remains a proponent of a strong military but also an advocate for better diplomacy and study of the world as it is today, not 30 years ago. Davis also lays out how he put his career on the line and was ostracized by many of the generals he worked for at the Pentagon after he spoke out in The New York Times: military leaders and politicians, he said, were misleading the public that the war in Afghanistan was going well.
In short, this is a foreign policy book with a heavy dose of humanity.
(Full disclosure: I was the paid copy editor of this book, but had no previous contact with Lt. Col. Davis. No relation, either.)
10/10 will read many times again.
