Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm: Chronology and Fact Book

Kevin Don Hutchison

Greenwood Press, 1995

KEY BOOK FOR ANY DESERT STORM COLLECTION
The amount of information included in this single volume is staggering! All of the official U.S. service histories are found here, along with all primary, and most secondary Coalition forces. The author also included as much Iraqi information as possible from Coalition intelligence services. If there is a weak area this understandably is it, with Saddam being uncooperative. Still, Iraqi ...

PSI Research, 1999

Very useful reference book
Tom Dinakus'Desert Storm book is an extremely handy volume for anyone interested in modern armies. It is particularly valuable for anyone reading other accounts of the Desert Storm campaign, as it provides a more comprehensive explanation of the forces deployed during the war than is available in most other books on the subject. Even if you're not interested in Desert Storm, it provides a very ...

Gulf War: Desert Shield and Desert Storm, 1990-1991 (G.I. Series)
Anthony Evans

Greenhill Books, 2006

A decade ago, the United States armed forces launched its largest offensive operation since the D-Day landings in World War II. The nature of the war was vastly changed; here was a purely desert environment, with sweltering heat during the day and bitter cold at night, making new demands on men and equipment. Indeed, the need for speed during the build-up in Saudi Arabia created shortages of many desert-specific items, resulting in the ...

Desert Storm: A Forgotten War

Alberto Bin, Richard Hill, ...

Praeger Paperback, 1998

Very Well Done
Very well written. Starts a little slow with much preliminary but fascinating information about the international politics leading up to the war. After that starts a day by day account of the war and most major battles. I especially liked the many behind the scenes personal interviews with pilots, Iraqi officers, tank commanders, etc. about their experiences, Many " stories never told" . It ...

Thunder and Lightning: Desert Storm and the Airpower Debates
...A small team of military analysts, working at Air University's College of Aerospace Doctrine, Research and Education (CADRE), under the initial oversight of Lt Gen Chuck Boyd and - later - Lt Gen Jay Kelly, spent over three years piecing together the conceptual development of the Desert Storm air campaign.

Syma Photographers

Harry N Abrams, 1991

An excellent book
The photography in this book is extremely impressive. Man of the pictures are unique, one-of-a-kind shots of aspects of the war that are often forgotten now. I consider this an important part of my Desert Storm collect, although there does seem to be some political aspects to some of the pictures chosen for this collection.

Beautiful Artwork, Beautiful Writing
I just love this book! My children enjoy the building of the storm and the calmness afterward. It is a great bed time story.

Desert Shield To Desert Storm: The Second Gulf War
Dilip Hiro

AuthorHouse, 2003

During the first two weeks of the US-led air campaign, the Allies dropped more conventional explosives on Iraq and Kuwait than in the whole of 310-week long World War II. How was it that Saddam Hussein had failed to draw the right lesson from the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War: the United States would never allow an unfriendly nation to dominate the Gulf, containing two-thirds of the global oil reserves? And how was President George Bush able to assemble ...

Camp Colt to Desert Storm: The History of U.S. Armored Forces

3 reviews

University Press of Kentucky, 1999

Much needed book!
Three points about this volume are of particular positive interest. First, the editors decision to have contributors discuss not only history, but also doctrinal and technological development of American armor. This makes for a volume which will be of interest to both amateurs and professionals. Second, the choice of contributors could not, in my opinion, have been much better. Lastly, the ...

Now I know
I have been married to an Active Duty servicemember for the last six years. We freely share all aspects of our lives and of our pasts. Yet there was one period of his life that he never discussed and that was his time during the Gulf War. My husband was on his first enlistment when he was sent into the Iraqi desert, he was young, impressionable and just out of high school. His experience ...
