Industry Reviews
"[A] brutally explicit account, by a bitterly disappointed man who strives to maintain a judicious tone, of how a central constitutional requirement of the American political system--civilian control of the military--acts to frustrate a commander in the field....Yet his memoir is not just, or even principally, the revenge of a man who believes he has been poorly used. It is also a scathing account of management failures, which had they been a little worse might have cost NATO its victory."
New York Review of Books - Michael Ignatieff (07/19/2001)

"[T]he infighting in Washington's bureaucratic jungle makes for...fascinating reading....Clark's book is...in essence, an excellent manual on How Not to Wage Modern War. Not that the author would consent to this title....Clark's memoir is disappointing....Clark was apparently still feeling hurt and humiliated when he wrote it...The problem is that he is not completely candid."
Nation - Dusko Doder (08/06/2001)

"[Clark's] evident love of soldiering and his quick intelligence are not matched by any penchant for self-analysis....Behind the personal animosity--most of it never adequately explained--lurk some important points....His book amounts to a plea for the Pentagon to ponder such matters. This plea is important. WAGING MODERN WAR should be circulated in the reforming Pentagon of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld....Unfortunately, the general weakens his arguments by not marshaling them coherently, by often appearing to be driven by pique and by himself zigzagging through various descriptions of the Kosovo conflict--calling it 'war' several times, then saying, ''We weren't at war, nor did we want to be.'"
New York Times Book Review - Roger Cohen (09/02/2001)
