Book Reviews of Hazardous Duty
Book Review: A good read, but "Hack" is in over his head.
Summary: 3 Stars
COL Hackworth knows how to see through the bull at the ground level and it shows. Unfortunately, this book shows the limits of his intelligence. While his assessment of the colossal screw-up at the ground level in Somalia is outstanding, his analysis of bigger picture issues shows how short-sighted he is. His criticism of Schwartzkopf during the Gulf War in particular completely misses some troublesome facts that Stormin' Norman had to deal with (a diverse coalition, logistics problems, pressure from Washington, etc). Hackworth is the kinda guy who makes a GREAT leader - at the lower levels. Despite his very high opinion of himself (seems to be reading too many press clippings), he would be a joke as a General.
