This review is from: Stormin' Norman: An American Hero (Paperback)

Jack Anderson, the author, has been writing different sorts of books for over forty years now. His primary collection of books are in the category of biography. He enjoys writing about prominent and eminent individuals that have somehow impacted society in one way or another. He was born in the United States and is now a retired author.

Norman Schwarzkopf was born into a strict conservative family. His father, a war hero in WWII, was set to have Norman follow in his footsteps. How right was he. Norman ended up graduating at the top of his class in high school as well as in college at West Point. He excelled at the sophisticated military schol which led him into politics and also a family. He met his future wife at a bar during college and ended up marrying after graduating. Through politics, Norman was the main commander in Vietnam as well as the Gulf War. He was awarded two Purple Hearts for his courage and dignity. This earned him his promulgation and fame in the area of war. After fighting in the east, the book went on to explain his personal life. Fishing, reading, family, and football were all personal likings of Norman. As he had children, he can only hope to pass on his family tradition, as his dad sure did.
