Críticas:

"A valuable bridge across the country's widening civil-military divide. It is an important contribution to our understanding of how this military works in the 21st century."--The New York Times"No one understands better the burdens carried by today's men and women in uniform. If you aren't reading Kaplan, you aren't fully informed." --Minneapolis Star Tribune"Again and again in this book, we see how military service, even in peacetime, provides the catalyst that allows common men to perform uncommon deeds." --The Wall Street Journal"Recommended reading for anyone seeking to understand the full reach of America's global military power, or trying to comprehend the incredibly complicated, but increasingly important, soft-power demands being placed on today's military." --The Boston Globe

Reseña del editor:

In Hog Pilots, Blue Water Grunts, acclaimed journalist Robert D. Kaplan continues his exploration of the American military's challenging and varied commitments around the world. From protecting sea lanes, to providing disaster relief, to preparing for potential military confrontation with North Korea and Iran, Kaplan describes the astonishing, vital, and often unacknowledged operations regularly performed by American military personnel in the air, at sea, and on the ground. Vivid and illuminating, this book takes us deep into the highly technical and exotic cultures of the armed forces, telling soldiers' stories from the perspective of the troops on the ground.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
