Rarely in public life does a figure emerge of such compelling leadership and personal charisma as to capture an entire nation's--indeed, the world's--imagination. Such a man is General Schwarzkopf, Commander of the Allied Forces in the Persian Gulf, whose life and career are detailed in this plain-spoken, intensely personal portrait. 32 pages of photos; 10 maps.

Excellent transaction. Book arrived in better condition than I expected and within a short period of time. Would not hesitate to buy from this dealer again..........
Great Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I liked this book much more than Collin Powell's book. It just seems more honest and less self serving, General Schwartzkopf admits mistakes, and positions he has taken for political reasons. It makes a very interesting read about decision making in the higher ranks of the military. If you've read Powell's book, you'd like this one, and if you haven't, read it after this as a great supplement.

As a veteran I find that the accuracy, the notes, research and espiecally the historical and political events leading up to the event(Operation Desert Storm) are absolutely amazing. History will decide the outcome but today it is done
