In February 2012, Paula Broadwell praised Holly Petraeus for serving as a “wonderful source of information” for her book, “All in,” a biography of General David Petraeus.

Petraeus revealed last Friday that he was involved in an affair with a woman revealed to be Broadwell.

In a question and answer session on CSPAN’s Book TV, Broadwell revealed that General Nolton was one of his most important mentors and eventually married Noltan’s daughter Holly.

“Holly has been a wonderful source of information for this research as well,” Broadwell explained.

According to reports, Petraeus began the affair with Broadwell in August 2011 and broke off the relationship four months ago.
