Summary: Carry On
Review: While it's been many years since I was in the army, reading this book, as I followed the details of both Schwarzkopf's personal and public life, I felt as though I was there with him. And I was comfortable metaphorically traveling through the life of a born determined soldier.Regardless of what you may think of the Gulf War, or of the military, this is a wonderful story about someone who is determined to live the life that he has been sent here to live. "It Doesn't Take a Hero," reflects his message, "No matter your history, or the history of the organization in which you most identify with, you can still reach your highest dreams." This book will make you laugh quite a bit, as you follow his determination to avoid politics, and remain true to his basic soldiering identity. This is not to say that he would be less of a leader, nor less of a person to have aimed for a political position. He became the soldier that all of his life experiences led him to be. As I read this, I could almost hear his voice, jokes and all. Enjoy!

Summary: Inspiration for a young soldier
Review: While trying to keep warm in the bosnian winter of 1992 as a un-soldier, i sometimes lost completely track of time reading this book (Which is pretty handy on tedious radio-duty!). It's exciting, informative, enjoyable, funny, serious and inspiring. A Must-Read for all who would like a few pointers on how to succeed in life.
