(A2) From my personal collection! Signed and protected in archival Brodart covers. Smoke-free home. Protected and stored in a barrister-style bookcase. Schwarzkopf’s autobiography shows signs of aging on the sides of the block. Powell’s block has a couple of smudges that can probably be removed with light brushing. See Pics for both. Both are otherwise in excellent condition, both books and DJs. ——————————————————————————- **It Doesn’t Take a Hero - He set his star by a simple motto: duty, honor, country. Only rarely does history grant a single individual the ability, personal charisma, moral force, and intelligence to command the respect, admiration, and affection of an entire nation. But such a man is General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of the Allied Forces in the Gulf War. Now, in this refreshingly candid and typically outspoken autobiography, General Schwarzkopf reviews his remarkable life and career: the events, the adventures, and the emotions that molded the character and shaped the beliefs of this uniquely distinguished American leader. —————————————————— **My American Journey - Colin Powell is the embodiment of the American dream. He was born in Harlem to immigrant parents from Jamaica. He knew the rough life of the streets. He overcame a barely average start at school. Then he joined the Army. The rest is history—Vietnam, the Pentagon, Panama, Desert Storm—but a history that until now has been known only on the surface. Here, for the first time, Colin Powell himself tells us how it happened, in a memoir distinguished by a heartfelt love of country and family, warm good humor, and a soldier's directness. My American Journey is the powerful story of a life well lived and well told. It is also a view from the mountaintop of the political landscape of America. At a time when Americans feel disenchanted with their leaders. General Powell's passionate views on family, personal responsibility, and, in his own words, "the greatness of America and the opportunities it offers" inspire hope and present a blueprint for the future. An utterly absorbing account, it is history with a vision.#schwarzkopf#colinpowell#desertstorm#signed#autograph#autographed#gulfwar#military#war#autobiography
