“A legendary warrior with a fine eye for enduring lessons about leadership, courage, and consequence” (Tom Brokaw), General Stanley McChrystal retired in July 2010 as a four-star general in the United States Army after serving as the top commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and the commander of the International Security Assistance Force. The former director of the Joint Staff and commander of the Joint Special Operations Command, he is a senior fellow at Yale University’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs and the cofounder of the McChrystal Group, a leadership consulting firm. Taking its title from the official U.S. Army Ranger Creed, My Share of the Task explores the major episodes and controversies of an eventful career. 

In conversation with Mark Bowden, bestselling author of Black Hawk Down and The Finish.
