Every Man a Tiger: The Gulf War Air Campaign

An instant classic--a rare, first-hand account of the Gulf War through the eyes of one of its most outstanding commanders.

Through the words of Tom Clancy and the eyes of General Chuck Horner--commander of the U.S. and allied air assets during Desert Shield and Desert Storm--Every Man a Tiger reveals the planning and execution of one of the most devastating air campaigns in history: the Gulf air war. Never before have the war and its planning, a process filled with controversy and stormy personalities, been revealed in such rich, provocative detail. Every Man a Tiger is a front row view of a man, an institution, a war, and a way of war. It is an instant classic--a masterful blend of military history, biography, you-are-there narrative, insights into the practice of leadership, and plain old-fashioned storytelling.
