PositiveThe Washington PostThis is the memoir America wishes Jim Mattis had written ... Snodgrass cracks the former general’s carefully crafted facade. Full of juicy anecdotes from meetings with the president and key Cabinet members that Snodgrass witnessed, the book reflects Mattis’s growing frustration with an erratic boss who won’t listen to him, and charts his gradual slide into irrelevance ... a nuanced, not always flattering account of Mattis’s time as defense secretary, from the point of view of someone who was in his inner circle.
