Title: Mr Clancy, what is this book about?
Review: I was going to write a review but the June 3rd review from the reader in Austin, TX pretty well coveres the bases. I find it hard to believe Tom Clancy put his name on this book, he couldn't have even read it. While General Zinni was a truly outstanding Marine Corps officer he's no writer and his story suffers for this. At the conclusion of this book I had one question I kept asking, what was the real subject of this book as it meanders through Zinni's professional career from a young lieutenant through the multitude of staff jobs. While the points Zinni wants to make about integrity, speaking out, leadership could have been presented in a paragraph they are slowly, and with every imaginable military acronym, described in unimaginative detail. Pass on this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
