Former Iraq commander Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, author of Wiser in Battle, says there are lessons the U.S. has yet to learn politically from the war in Iraq. Singer-songwriter KT Tunstall explains how being adopted has impacted her music and gives a special performance.

When he retired in '06, Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez was the highest-ranking Hispanic in the U.S. Army. His 33 years in the military included service as a battalion commander during Operation Desert Storm and commander of coalition forces during the period of prisoner abuse that occurred at Abu Ghraib. Sanchez grew up in a Texas border town and was the first member of his family to graduate from high school. His newly published memoir, Wiser in Battle, is the first book from an on-the-ground Iraq commander.

At the beginning of '05, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter KT Tunstall was a virtual unknown. By the end of the year, after performing on a TV show as a last-minute replacement act, she was the best-selling female songstress in Britain. The Scottish artist learned piano at age 7 and, by age 15, had found her singing voice. After honing her skills with a number of bands, she went solo in '02. Tunstall has also lent her tunes to select films and TV shows, including The Devil Wears Prada and Grey's Anatomy.
