Midwest Book Review
Whereas most books on the Gulf War tell an "inside story" based on someone else's opinion, Andrew Leyden's Gulf War Debriefing Book: An After Action Report lets the reader draw his or her own conclusions about the war by providing a meticulous review of events and documentation. The Gulf War Debriefing Book lists all the military units deployed (both active duty, reserve and guard), provides a detailed account of the primary weapons used during the war, and gives a look at the pole, places and politics behind the military maneuvering. This is a comprehensive resource featuring a day-by-day chronology of the military, diplomatic, international, and domestic events that took place during Operation Desert Shield/Storm and allows the reader to reflect on some important post-war facts as well. No Gulf War military reference collection should be without the Gulf War Debriefing Book on its shelves.
Book Description
It has been over 10 years since Americans sat glued to their television sets watching the eerie and often frightening images of scud missile attacks, raging oil fires, and a defiant Saddam Hussein vowing to win the "Mother of all wars." Yet, a decade later, the details of the events, actions, and people involved in the seven months from late 1990 to early 1991 remain sketchy and often misunderstood.
In Gulf War Debriefing Book, author Andrew Leyden attempts to offer only the facts and let his readers draw their own conclusions about the war and the overwhelming Allied victory. This is not an "insiders" story nor a personal memoir. It is, rather, a detailed and thoroughly researched account of the military units deployed, the primary weapons used, and the people, places, and politics behind the military maneuvering.
