A more granular version of "The Monks of War" by Julian Barnes in U.S. News & World Report

Barnes sent me an email a couple of days back alerting me to the piece, saying it covered much of the same ground as my March Esquire piece, but at a lower angle.


And he was right. His piece, entitled, "The Army is rethinking how to fight the next war—and win the current one", is really good. It's like you're reading my "Monks" piece and you want to drill down on the whole Fort Irwin reference (which we collapsed into just a line or two), so you click on the URL and up pops Barnes' very descriptive piece, which takes you deep inside the basics of this new form of training at the Army's main training center. Lots of good detail. Definitely worth a read.
