Paula Dean Broadwell (née Kranz; born November 9, 1972)[1] is an American writer, academic and former military officer. Broadwell served in the US Army on both active and reserve duty for over 20 years (including time as a military school undergraduate).[3][4] In 2012, she co-authored, with Vernon Loeb, All In: The Education of General David Petraeus,[5] a biography of then-International Security Assistance Force commander David Petraeus.[6][7][8][9][10] She is the co-founder and co-director of the Think Broader Foundation,[11] a media consulting firm that focuses on addressing gender bias in the media and society.[12] Broadwell is most notable for her involvement in the Petraeus scandal. Consequently, her career ended in disgrace.
