Bought the book about a year ago after watching him on television discuss his work and hinting at how his military career was torpedoed by politicians and sycophantic officers. I started the book immediately, got bored, but then the author chosen and confirmed as the Secretary of Defense, so made quick effort to read the darned thing.
Fully titled The War on Warriors, Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free, the book is short at only 256 pages.
A majority of the book focuses on how public political theories creep into and corrupt proven military processes. Particularly how the Obama and Biden regimes inserted DEI dogma into many facets of military operations and training.
I suppose that this is the nature of politicians in times of peace, and the nature of military leadership to relax at the simultaneously. They cling to their positions more than reality, often until it's too late.
The book itself started weakly but did recover and end well.
If you like Pete Hegseth, it is a nice short read.
