Frantzen doesn't (directly) try to argue against this perception-- instead, he tries to investigate *why* this perception exists.

Marine general Tony Zinni was known as the "Warrior Diplomat" during his nearly forty years of service. His credentials as a soldier were impeccable, and as a peacemaker he made just as great a mark.

It is an eye-opening book - a front-row seat to a man, an institution, and a way of both war and of peace that together make this an instant classic of military history.
