In fits and starts over
Thanksgiving weekend I read pieces of All In: The Education of General David
Petraeus. As a nonfiction author who checked her Amazon page in the tense
days after pub date, I looked at Broadwell’s soaring “best-sellers rank” when
the story was in the headlines (110), but as it faded, I returned just now to
Amazon to find the book with a decent — I’d love to have it — ranking of 3,952;
decent but not best-selling.
And then I read the blurbs, offered by the likes of Tom Brokaw and Doris Kearns
Goodwin, I’m assuming in the days before publication. In retrospect they’re
hilarious; overflowing with praise — not surprising; a blurb wouldn’t be a
blurb without hyperbolic acclaim — and, unfortunately for the famous blurbers,
double entendres.
Here’s a sample, condensed by me:
“Gen. Petraeus is one of the most important Americans of our time, in or
out of uniform.” — Tom Brokaw
“With superb narrative skill, Broadwell simultaneously provides an intimate
look at Petraeus the man … ” — Doris Kearns Goodwin
“All In is … informed by remarkable access to the man both on and off
the battlefield.” — Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down
“All In feels at times like we are sitting at his side in Afghanistan,
reading his emails over his shoulder.” — Thomas E. Ricks, author of The
Generals, Fiasco and The Gamble
