Narrated by Bernard Shaw

The name of H. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of the coalition forces in the Gulf war, may now be added to the military gallery of great generals. His strategic insights, keen tactical mind, diplomatic slight of hand... his vision and leadership during the difficult months of the preparation and combat resulted in the decisive allied victory that was "Desert Storm".

CNN's award-winning documentary team "Special Reports" profiles the man known to his admirers as "The Bear" (for his cuddly warmth) and to his detractors as "Stormin' Norman" (for his quick temper). A traditional mud soldier who loves opera, magic and mint ice cream. And a fighter's fighter... tough as nails and a real troop handler.

This is the story of man behind the military victory, including General Schwarzkopf's historic briefing on the battlefield strategy that won the War in the Gulf.
