Here’s a signed first(ish) edition I picked up at a bargain price:
Schwarzkopf, General Norman H. (with Peter Petre) The Autobiography: It Doesn’t Take A Hero. Bantam Books, 1992. First edition hardback this, the large print edition (which came out in December 1992, while the true first came out in October 1992), a Fine- copy with slight bend at head and touches of wear at head and heel, in a Fine- dust jacket with slight wrinkle at head and slight wear at top points, with bookplate signed by Schwarzkopf pasted to front free endpaper. Autobiography of the architect of the U.S. military-led coalition’s overwhelming victory in Desert Storm. I meant to pick up a first of this back in the 1990s, but I knew this type of book would show up heavily discounted at some point, but evidently I never ran across a Fine/Fine copy at a price I liked. Bought from Recycled Reads for $2, which I think is incredibly cheap to buy a book with Stormin’ Norman’s signature.

Schwarzkopf enjoyed the good fortune to have Ariel Sharon as his architect of the Gulf War.
Without the Lion of the Desert, Operation Desert Storm would have required much more than 100 hours to consumate.
