Gregory Bull/APThe Colorado River – which supplies water to about 40 million people – is under new management.

He answered a call from military leaders for strategic advice – and found himself living on a base in Iraq in 2004. Tom talks about the hard lessons from Iraq that he writes about in his new book – and how leaders might apply those lessons to the current conflict with Iran.
