About this ebook
He set his star by a simple motto: duty, honor, country. Only rarely does history grant a single individual the ability, personal charisma, moral force, and intelligence to command the respect, admiration, and affection of an entire nation. But such a man is General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of the Allied Forces in the Gulf War. Now, in this refreshingly candid and typically outspoken autobiography, General Schwarzkopf reviews his remarkable life and career: the events, the adventures, and the emotions that molded the character and shaped the beliefs of this uniquely distinguished American leader.

This book is an enjoyable account of a great soldier's development. It seems that the e-book was translated from another language into English, there are a few grammar errors.

Such an interesting story about how a great leader developed from a young boy, playing soldier, into a professionally developed officer leading soldiers on the battlefield. Equally interesting is General Schwartzkopf's honesty about his interactions and observations throughout his life.
