In this first volume of a series on the intricacies of military command, Clancy traces the organizational success story of the U.S. Army's rise from the slough of Vietnam to the heights of victory in the Persian Gulf. In 1972, the Army lacked proper discipline, training, weapons, and doctrine; all these would be overhauled in the next 15 years. For those readers keen on such nuts and bolts, the book will be fascinating. But the book truly sparkles when Franks tells his story. A "tanker" who lost a foot in the invasion of Cambodia, he is a man of great courage, thoughtfulness, and integrity. One cannot help but wince when a civilian tells him, "You and those boys did that for nothing." And for all the acronyms and military history, that is what this book is about: healing the wounds Vietnam inflicted. "But this time [the Gulf War], it was going to end differently. They all would see to that." 5054739 1997 Into The Storm: A Study in Command total:135|5:21|4:46|3:47|2:16|1:5| 135 467 190 6 185316 042521656X 9780425216569 120 4 3.46 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172525048m/185316.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/185316.Into_The_Storm_A_Study_in_Command 2 0 false Sun Nov 02 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 04 07:58:07 -0700 2008 Sun Nov 02 01:19:20 -0700 2008
