As I read the book, the one thing that struck me was that it seemed his entire life was in preparation for becoming a general and leading our forces in Desert Storm. The book covers a period from his early childhood through his command of our troops in Desert Storm. It gives the reader an inside look at the military through the eyes of a man who helped shape our army for nearly 40 years. From his entry into West Point to his retirement in 1991 here is a man who not only saw the inter workings of our Army but actively participated in much of the combat and building or rebuilding our strength as needed.
Many people dismiss the book because of the title.
It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle. I would give the book 5 stars not only for its subject matter but also for the fact that it is an interesting and well-written book. This is a really interesting and inspiring book. I recommend it to anyone who has to read a biography for a book report. It is rather long, though.
