This review is from: Every Man a Tiger (Tom Clancy Commanders) (Paperback)

In this non-fiction book, Tom Clancy and General Chuck Horner examine on a few different levels what it takes to get everything in place to conduct a sophisticated air war. Such an event, in this case Desert Shield/Storm, takes many years of preparation. This preparation requires enormous sums of money as well as long-term development of the officer and non-commissioned officer corp. The commitment to do this spans several presidential administrations.

One of the fun things of any Clancy book is to learn more military jargon. This book does not disappoint. We get to see the careers of Air Force generals as well as the analysis of them in action. The case is made decisively that we'll always need tigers in the leadership. At the end of the day, the whole air complex depends on the leadership. I think this book will continue to appeal to military history buffs, strategists and intelligence personnel and political policy experts.
