It was bad enough when Jack Ryan was replaced by John Kelly, certainly is was worse when the NF and Tom Clancy did not team up, however, the worst was this biography. General Horner may have been brillant as a fighter pilot and a commander, but his biography is pretty boring. I say this an old "brown shoe" navy man who flew in the same era as when Horner was a young lieutenant. I can not comprehend how any one with little or no military training could even pick this tome up. Too long, too technical and a little too self agrondizing.
