Is "American Soldier" a good book? I'm usually not into biographies, but really do like Tommy Franks.

American Soldier is a good book in the sense that General Franks has had a fascinating and interesting life. Lots of adventures. In the right place at the right time.

It is NOT a good book in the sense that cursing is second nature to him. And I doubt the book had everything in it that he is capable of saying. Probably doesn't bother General Franks to be around all the cursing but it bothered me to read it. It is hard to skip it when there is so much of it.

I don't know .. I just bought it because I was sure it had great insights into what was really going on in Afghanistan and Iraq.
