{"product_id":"9781588345301","title":"With Schwarzkopf: Life Lessons of The Bear","description":"\u003ci\u003eWith Schwarzkopf\u003c\/i\u003e is Gus Lee's remembrance of his mentor and  friend H. Norman Schwarzkopf, and his firsthand account of how  Schwarzkopf shaped his life. In 1966, Lee, a junior-year cadet at West  Point, was bright, athletic, and popular. He was also on the verge of  getting kicked out. Nearing the bottom of his class due to his penchant  for playing poker and reading recreationally instead of studying  engineering, he was assigned a new professor: then-Major Norman  Schwarzkopf. Schwarzkopf's deeply principled nature and fierce  personality took hold of the wayward cadet, and the two began meeting  regularly and discussing what it meant to be a scholar, a soldier, and a  man. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLee's vibrant, witty narrative brings his more than  forty-year relationship with Schwarzkopf to life. Readers get an inside  look at West Point culture; they see Schwarzkopf's bristling anger with  his rebellious pupil as well as his tenacity, intellect, and moments of  surprising emotional warmth; and they watch as Lee starts to absorb his  teachings. As he left West Point and took on more professional and  personal roles, Lee approached every crisis or difficult decision by  channeling his mentor. Over the years,  Schwarzkopf's instilled values, wise counsel, and warm conversations  shaped Lee and brought the two together in an unlikely friendship. In \u003ci\u003eWith Schwarzkopf\u003c\/i\u003e, Lee passes along the lessons he learned so future generations can hear Schwarzkopf's important teachings.","brand":"Smithsonian Institution Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138098249968,"sku":"9781588345301","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781588345301_p0.jpg?v=1763800163","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781588345301","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
