When General Stanley McChrystal took command of the Joint Special Operations Task Force in 2004, he quickly realized that conventional military tactics were failing. Al Qaeda in Iraq was a decentralized network that could move quickly, strike ruthlessly, then seemingly vanish into the local population. The allied forces had a huge advantage in numbers, equipment, and training - but none of that seemed to matter.

Team of teams summary weak
Revisado: 03-08-20
While Stanley McChrystal‘s book “Team of teams” is an excellent story, this summary is not. The audio portion of this summary is plagued by poor diction and uninspired writing. You may get a good idea of what Mr. McCrystal core points were, but this summary does not do it justice.

The free-market, limited-government development model has been an ecological and social disaster for the developing world. Sustainable and equitable development is only possible with the active involvement of a strong central state that can guide the economy, protect the environment, and prioritize meeting their people’s basic needs. In this sure-to-be-controversial audiobook, Chandran Nair shows that the market-dominated model followed by the industrialized West is simply not scalable.

The World we Want
Revisado: 06-23-19
This book describes the coming sustainable state, should humans decide to step up to their best instincts and preserve the fairness, love of each other and compassion, we all hold in our hearts. The Sustainable State is a Strong State. The values of a Strong State are those of its people. A Strong State is not captured by "special interests" as many are today, either by dynastic families, or entitled elite billionaires, as in the US. The Strong State operates with the good of the people in mind. The book turns on its head the notion of Strong States as militarily strong or strongman strong—those are weak states, Chandran Nair says. The hallmark of a weak failed state resorts to oligarchic power and politics of division to "control" its people. The book is full of examples of States whose policies are working. It is not a doom and gloom book. I recommend it despite the narrator's almost imperceptible breaks in the flow of ideas.
Each chapter begins with a short review of the preceding concepts and concludes with a preview of the next chapter. This helps the reader pick up the book and put it down again with ease. There are many ways we as humans can step into our shared roles, power and purpose to create the Strong State. I say this book is a must read for those interested in people purposed policy. It could be quite helpful to students studying future policy making, to those who want to be in leadership, particularly female, and to those who are currently making policy, who see themselves as agents of change, such as governors and even representatives of governments. The Sustainable State is coming, indeed we can hear her voice already.
