Publisher Bantam Books said Sunday that it won the high-priced bidding war to publish the memoirs of Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf.

Schwarzkopf, U.S. commander in the Gulf War, could receive more than $5 million for the as-yet-untitled autobiography, a published report said.

Schwarzkopf’s agent said five publishers had made offers, but neither he nor Bantam would divulge terms of the deal.
