The listing, STORMIN` NORMAN has ended.
On February 27, 1991, the allied coalition forces of Operation Desert Storm led by General H. Norman Schwarzkopf overcame the armies of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in a stunning victory that quickly became known to the world as "The 100-Hour War." To countless millions at home and abroad, "Stormin' Norman" Schwarzkopf quickly became a household name. But who is the man behind the triumph -- the man who has earned himself a place in history as one of the great military leaders of his generation?
Here for the first time is the untold story of the man and the soldier. A man for all seasons, General Schwarzkopf is a sportsman, music lover, and devoted family man. As commander and master tactician of Operation Desert Storm, he was the Chief of U. S. Central Command who knew the terrain of the Middle East, had predicted war in the area nearly a decade ago and was ready with a war plan that hit hard and fast. As an heroic battalion commander in Vietnam, he also knew the heart and mind of the common soldier, and earned the reputation of being a soldier's general.
STORMIN' NORMAN is an in-depth portrait of the man and soldier who has become a symbol of all the brave men and women of Desert Storm who set out to confront an enemy abroad and achieved a brilliant victory that has brought the promise of peace to a land in conflict.
