Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
It may not take a hero, but Gen. Schwarzkopf is the closest thing to the genuine article in years. At first, he comes across like a close family friend during an after-dinner chat. He warms up his audience with tales from teenage years spent in the Middle East. Schwarzkopf moves his listeners with tales from Vietnam that vividly convey the fear, courage and frustration of war. The presentation evolves into an insider's "briefing" when the General begins to discuss the Gulf War. His narrative becomes a recitation of details, almost a time line. Yet his human side always shines through as he presents his candid insights and personal concerns. J.A. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.
Review

"A must-read... a riveting reminder that one man can influence major events."--Detroit Free Press.
"An excellent book by an excellent man."--The Wall Street Journal
