As Commander in Chief of the United States Central Command from July 2000 through July 2003, Tommy Franks led the American and Coalition forces to victory in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Unsurprisingly, the portions of American Soldier covering these wars are the most interesting because they combine military maneuvers, political wrangling, and lots of action and commentary. This does not mean, however, that the rest of his autobiography is dull. General Franks's writing is clear and engaging and his insider's perspective is informative and interesting.

American Soldier is a compelling look at the war on terrorism from one who served on the frontlines as both a warrior and a diplomat.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Putting into Carlissa's Audio Bookbox.
Thanks for arranging it! Look forward to round 4!

came back in round 4 of my CD audio bookbox. I will be leaving this in for round 5.

Considering how much of the US's money is going toward funding the wars overseas, I should probably care more about them. It would probably benefit me to listen to this book. But I just can't get into it...


This book enjoyed a brief visit in San Jose, CA before continuing its travels in carlissa's CD AudiobookBookbox!
