Rarely in public life does a figure emerge of such compelling leadership and personal charisma as to capture an entire nation's--indeed, the world's--imagination. Such a man is General Schwarzkopf, Commander of the Allied Forces in the Persian Gulf, whose life and career are detailed in this plain-spoken, intensely personal portrait. 32 pages of photos; 10 maps.

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.
