Battle Ready (Abridged) Audiobook

" Very well written. Gen Tony Zinni is presented as a great, great American, I came away with much respect & gratitude for his service. Since reading this, every time I see Gen Zinni in the media (which isn't nearly enough) I find him facinating and on point. This is a book everyone must read. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was hard for me too, because I am very unfamiliar with service lingo! I kept having to look up ranks, and the such. The fact that I DID and kept reading says a lot for the book! I also enjoyed listening to him read parts of it aloud. He has a lot of charisma! "

" Was a good book well written. But it was another one of those American type blow my own horn self biographies. Yes, you were a successful American military leader like hundreds of others except you knew Clancy, so let's write about me! "

" Interesting. Which is code for boring. "

" A great book! It tells the story of General Zinni, USMC and his life and philosophy regarding the military in today's world, peace and world understanding. An eye-opening read whether you agree with him or not. "

" A telling and insightful story about the career of a true Marine and the world of diplomacy. Gives a very interesting perspective of what the future holds for this country. "

" A shocking commentary\documentary on the current state of US Armed forces. Warning" what you will read will disturb you. How far have US forces drawn down since the Reagan era came to a close? Shocking. "

" A Clancy "biography" of General Tony Zinni (retired). I am struck by how many of our military and political leaders were deeply effected by the Vietnam experience and how it colors all of their current decision-making. "

" Interesting. Not great. "

" AN interesting read, not only of the career of General Zinni, but also of the oeprations he was involved in. "

" It was great to get a perspective on war from a service member in a different branch (in this case Marine Corps). "

" "Interesting ideas about future of US Military and ""operations other than war"", nation-building told by previous CENTCOM chief. Fairly self-focused." "
