Publisher: London : Pan Books, 1999Description: xi, 564 p. : ill., ports ; 24 cmISBN: 0330486055Subject(s): Horner, Chuck | Persian Gulf War, 1991 | Persian Gulf War, 1991 -- United States | Persian Gulf War, 1991 -- Aerial operations, AmericanDDC classification: 956.70442092 Review: "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 U.S. 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 have the Gulf air war and its planning, a process filled with controversy and stormy personalities, been revealed in such detail."--BK JACKET. "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 hard work - in Horner's words, "We had to learn how to be an Air Force all over again" - and of how war changed fundamentally in the last decade of this century, not only in the new dominance of air power, but in all its aspects."--BK JACKET.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Collection | Shelving location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
