It Doesnt Take a Hero

Excellent transaction. Book arrived in better condition than I expected and within a short period of time. Would not hesitate to buy from this dealer again..........

Great Book

I liked this book much more than Collin Powell's book. It just seems more honest and less self serving, General Schwartzkopf admits mistakes, and positions he has taken for political reasons.
