Summary: Very Memorable reading....
Review: I just finished reading this book and must say its much more then I expected. I must have read and reread the first half of the book 3 times. This man has wonderful insights about life. I really learned a lot from this, the second half of the book is kinda boring , mostly stragety and tactics, but it was ok. Read this book for the first half alone... I would love to read a book about this man based on his life, I am sure it would be full of wonderful stories and uplifting experiences...

Summary: Every Page An Effort
Review: This is one of the most boring, self centered books I have ever read. I can't remember the last book I didn't finish, but this one is memorable from that perspective. .....every page an effort.

Summary: Good war read from a non-war reader
Review: I enjoyed this book. Gave great and compassionate insight on inner workings of Desert Storm and USAF. Gen. Horner is someone I would have loved to serve under, tough but unbelievable compassion and dedication to the task set before him. Very enjoyable and captivating read.

Summary: Clancy or Horner?
Review: Reading the book I couldn't help wondering who - in reality - wrote it: Clancy or Gen Chuck Horner. The book cover states "By Tom Clancy" in capitals and adds in very small print "with Gn. Horner". To any reader it is obvious it should be the other way around. Unfortunately, the last page of the book amplifies the overstatement of Mr clancy's role: a picture of Gen.Horner standing next to Mr Clancy, who, judging by his attire, likes to leave the impression that he was "there" himself, either aloft or as the personal advisor of Gen. Horner. From his resume I infer however, that he never even served in the military?

Summary: every man a tiger
Review: Fantastic story on general Chuck Horner. It's based around desert storm, but it also go's through Chuck's life as he starts in the airforce, marrage, vietnom, development of F-16, then his role on setting up desert sheild and moving on to desert storm... .

Summary: A great book for an Air Force enthusiast (and others)
Review: While I was in the Air Force during Desert Shield, Desert Storm and some of the follow-on actions, I never got close to the action (I did long-range research). Although I went to as many of the classified briefings (a bit more graphic than CNN) about air war progress as I could, there was no way to convey the enormity of the task that Gen. Horner was given. More than anything, this book gave me much insight into the "other" Air Force that I rarely saw: the combat units.I have a much better appreciation now for what the folks in those positions faced, and why the majority of generals MUST be pilots. I am still amazed that the coalition Air Forces maintained the pace they did for so long. One things I had hoped for, and missed, was some serious comment on the real Patriot intercept rate and more information on all the rumors we heard about incredible stories of shot-up aircraft returning to their bases, having survived much more than their designers expected them to. Though the high-level activities and maneuverings were very interesting, I was most interested in his recountings of actual bits of the war itself, at the pilot level. In the end, I lost a lot of respect for Gen. Schwarzkopf (sp?) and his ego regarding ground force targetting, but I gained admiration for our fighting air forces. A very good read for Air Force and Gulf War afficianados.

Summary: Every Man a Tiger
Review: This book is great, once again Tom Clancy has out done himself it starts with General Horner a day after Iraq invaded Kuwait, then to hi in collage to flight shool to fighter pilot to the Gulf War (again). At first it gets confusing with the book stating with the Gulf War era but then jumps 50 years into the past. The book is more about Chuck Horner that Desert Storm. I belive that any Clancy or military fanatic should read this book.

Summary: Outstanding primer on war
Review: In Every Man a Tiger, Clancy (and Horner) has written one of the best and most accessible books on warfare. He explains acronyms, he discusses strategy and military politics, and all in all does an exceptional job of writing a layman's introduction to the art of making war. So, Winston Churchill it's not. But, on the other hand, Every Man a Tiger comes across as a book with much less of an axe to grind than About Face (which I nonetheless highly recommend). Is it a bit self-serving to Horner? Yes, but less so than the vast majority of other books written by or with the aid of retired generals. Most recommended to anyone wanting to learn more about the higher level workings of the modern military. Other readers will find this book interesting as a quasi-biography of Horner and as a relatively even-handed narrative of the Gulf War.

Summary: Air Power 101
Review: I first saw this book at the "bookmark" at Aviano AB at the tail end of Operation "ALLIED FORCE", and grabbed the book by my former (AFSPC/CC) boss. I liked it most of for the comparision that I made between the Gulf War and Kosovo. While I have read Gen Horner's bio before, it was great to hear stories of his exploits as a CGO like myself. The book might (in my opinion) seem like a lecture on air power, which for myself slowed parts of it down. Overall I reccomend this book to all Air Power readers.

Summary: Professional Military Education 101
Review: I read at least two books per week and this book is one of the best I've read in several months. As a 24 year 'non-flying' USAF Officer, every chapter taught me things I wish I had learned much earlier. Comparisons between Vietnam and the Gulf War decision making, Strategic vs. Tactical thinking and leadership, systems (balcony view) thinking vs, tunnel vision, and global vs. one national power. Facts upon facts are revealed as well. I only skimmed 10 pages--the rest was word to word. Also recommended: Storm Over Iraq. Air Power and the Gulf War, by Richard P. Hallion, and The Icarus Syndrome, by Carl H. Builder.
