Omtale fra forlaget

TOM CLANCY's
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 armor and infantry General Fred Franks Jr., won unanimous praise for its masterful blend of military history, biography, you-are-there narrative, insight 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 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 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 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. 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 together make this an instant classic of military history.
Tom Clancy is the author of The Hunt for Red October, Red Storm Rising, Patriot Games, The Cardinal of the Kremlin, Clear and Present Danger, The Sum of All Fears, Without Remorse, Debt of Honor, Executive Orders, and Rainbow Six. Besides Into the Storm in this Commanders Series, he is the author of Military Library, and is the co-creator of the Op-Center, Power Plays, and Net Force series. He lives in Maryland
General Chuck Horner, now retired, held many field commands during his career, and served as Commander, Ninth Air Force: Commander, U.S. Central Command Air Forces; and Commander in Chief, SPACECOM. He has won dozens of honours from the United States and other countries, and currently writes, consults, and lectures on a wide range of aviation and security matters. Born in Davenport, Iowa, he lives with his wife, Mary Jo, in Shalimar, Florida.
