Thomas Ricks writes military history and national-security journalism, especially about the US armed forces and the wars in Iraq. Fiasco examines the planning and early conduct of the Iraq War, while The Gamble follows the change in strategy associated with the troop surge and General David Petraeus. The Generals looks more broadly at American military leadership from the Second World War onwards, and Churchill and Orwell compares two very different figures through the threats they saw to political freedom. Ricks's prose is analytical, reportorial and institution-focused, with command culture and policy decisions at the centre. His work fits military history, Iraq War studies and US national-security writing. Read more Less
