?It Doesn?t Take A Hero?ByGeneral Norman Schwarkkopf & Peter Petre
It Doesn?t Take A Hero is a surprising account of the life of a now
world -renowned hero. With the help of Peter Petre General Norman
Schwarzkopf tells about his life as a young boy growing up with a mom
who needed more tending than he and his sister ever did. What would it
be like to grow up with a mom who couldn?t leave liquor alone? What
would it be like to have your sister in charge, and better yet yourself?
The liquor cabinet might be a place to begin. Perhaps the local five
and dime store might be even better? Perhaps Norman wouldn?t need or
use any money? Would he take what he wanted regardless of what was
going on in his life? Norman was not that way. Whenever his mom
was sober he had respect for her, and when she drank he worried. But
young Norman also knew life needed to be lived and when his father
returned from the desert sands of Iran, an important U.S. attaché he
let his father know how much he wanted to go with him. He wanted to be
loved, and raised by the only father he ever knew. Young Norman did not
care if his dad removed him from U.S. soil or not. He was simply a boy
who wanted his dad, a responsible adult who would look after him. He
was tired of putting his mom on the couch, and taking care of her. It
was his turn to be a kid. Since Norman?s father was a person of
some importance to the U.S. Government it is no surprise that his
father eventually placed him in Military School. Whether he wanted to
be there or not is a minor reason to read this well written
Autobiography. It makes total sense that the government would
turn to General Norman Schwarzkopf when it came to Middle East Oil that
the U.S. and other nations depend greatly upon. Who would know the
Deserts of Iran better than a young general who grew up in those
blistering sands. He would know what kind of armor would be needed to
wage a war over there where very few U.S. citizens would. Desert Storm
may have been only nine days long, but that war is the tip of the ice
burg so to speak. General Norman Schwarzkopf?s knowledge which he
acquired as a result of a dad who didn?t turn a blind eye, a kid
growing up in Iranian deserts even if he was a U.S. Citizen is not only
a wave of glory for the United States, but is still a critical think
tank to help The U.S. and other nations establish world peace even if
it means using some brains and muscles to achieve what the world needs
most of.This book is well worth the read.
