Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As I wrapped up my listening experience with Outmaneuvered, I couldn't help but feel a mix of admiration for Warren's thorough research and frustration at the US military's continued struggles with irregular warfare. Jonathan Beville's narration, by turns engaging and somber, perfectly captures the audiobook's somber tone, even when Warren's critique becomes blisteringly sharp. One of the standout elements of the audiobook is Warren's thoughtful analysis of the 'lost generation' of US military leaders, who struggled to adapt to the rapidly changing landscape of post-Vietnam conflict.
