RIP, Jim Frederick
Over the summer, Jim Frederick, author of Black Hearts, one of the best books about the Iraq war, and also about military leadership in small wars, died an early death. I never met him, but I communicated with him about his striking book. If you haven’t read it, you should. Like immediately.
