| 內容簡介: |
In his first three Commanders books, Tom Clancy teamed with
Generals Fred Franks, Jr., Chuck Horner, and Carl Stiner to provide
masterful blends of history, biography, you-are-there narrative,
insight into the practice of leadership, and plain, old-fashioned
storytelling. Battle Ready is all of that-and it is also something
more.
Marine General Tony Zinni was known as the "Warrior Diplomat"
during his nearly forty years of service. As a soldier, his
credentials were impeccable, whether leading troops in Vietnam,
commanding hair-raising rescue operations in Somalia, or-as
Commander in Chief of CENTCOM-directing strikes against Iraq and Al
Qaeda. But it was as a peacemaker that he made just as great a
mark-conducting dangerous troubleshooting missions all over Africa,
Asia, and Europe; and then serving as Secretary of State Colin
Powell''s special envoy to the Middle East, before disagreements
over the 2003 Iraq War and its probable aftermath caused him to
resign.
Battle Ready follows the evolution of both General Zinni and the
Marine Corps, from the cauldron of Vietnam through the operational
revolution of the seventies and eighties, to the new realities of
the post-Cold War, post-911 military-a military with a radically
different job and radically different tools for accomplishing it.
It is an eye-opening book-a front-row seat to a man, an
institution, and a way of both war and peace that together make
this an instant classic of military history.
