Tom Clancy - Every Man A Tiger

Beschrijving boek

Tom Clancy`s Commanders Series.

Every Man A Tiger is the new ground-breaking exploration of the art of war - a look deep into modern air power, as seen through the eyes of one of its most outstanding commanders.

Tom Clancy’s Into The Storm, written with armour and infantry general, Fred Franks, Jr., won unanimous praise for its masterful blend of military history, biography, you-are-there narrative, insights into the practice of leadership and plain old-fashioned storytelling. Every Man A Tiger is even better, a book that, like its subject, soars into the sky.

General Chuck Horner was the right man in the right place at the right time. Combining a broad experience of all aspects of aerial warfare with a deep respect for and knowledge of Arab culture,  Horner commanded the US and allied air assets during Desert Shield and Desert Storm - the forces of a dozen nations - and was responsible for the design and execution of one of the most devastating air campaigns in history. Never before has the Gulf air war and its planning, a process filled with controversy and stormy personalities, been revealed in such rich, provocative detail.

Beyond that, however, Every Man A Tiger is the story of two revolutions; of how a service damaged by Vietnam reinvented itself through vision, determination and brutally had work - in Horner’s words, ‘We had to learn how to be an Air Force all over again’ - and of how war has changed fundamentally in the last decade of this century, not only in the new dominance of air power, but in all its aspects. It is a story of speed, accuracy, efficiency, information and initiative, as well as of smoke, fear, courage and blood. It is a front-row seat to a man, an institution, a war and a way of war that makes this an instant classic of military history.
