Desert Storm: A Forgotten War Review

Desert Storm: A Forgotten War
Average Reviews:

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 was riveting. Very well researched, unbiased & hard to put down.

A Night with Saddam Review

A Night with Saddam

Upon the United States invasion of Iraq, one of 160th SOAR missions was to locate Saddam Hussein, or more affectionately known as "The Ace of Spades" and his affiliates who comprised the remaining 51 positions of America's most wanted in Iraq.
A Night with Saddam, written by Dr. Mark E. Green, chronicles a series of events both personal and professional that would eventually lead to a one-on-one interview with one of the most ruthless men in the history of the world: Saddam Hussein.
Green's motivation for writing this book is twofold: On a personal level, Green highlights the series of events in his own life that led him to re-evaluate his own existence and reason for living. On a broader, and arguably a more important, scale, Green informs the reader of the hardships as well as the trials and tribulations of some of the most unsung heroes in the United States armed services, The Night Stalkers and the Special Operations Flight Surgeons.
While the magnitude of the capture of Saddam Hussein has been unparalleled since United States' military operations began in Operation Iraqi Freedom, this moment held a certain significance for Mark Green; it provided him the opportunity to achieve what he so longed for, a defining moment in his life.
This book is a must read. It has something that appeals to everyone. It chronicles the lives of soldiers and the hardships they face, as well as clandestine and covert operations. A Night with Saddam provides the reader insight into a world few people have ever experienced and a window into the mind of one of the most ruthless men in history.

Crusade: The Untold Story of the Persian Gulf War Review

Crusade: The Untold Story of the Persian Gulf War

Atkinson's account of the Gulf War has managed to outdo every participant who has written about it. He does this by exposing every significant detail of the conflict. The aspects that most fascinated me include the negotiations with Saudi Arabia and Israel, the coverage of the military campaign (in the air, land, and sea), and the allied military personalities. Atkinson covers all of these angles - and more - as well as any other journalist/author. His style and professionalism is on a level with Bob Woodward (both are both Pulitzer Prize winners).
On all counts Atkinson is fair and thorough. Probably the best example of this is his portrayal of Schwarzkopf. More critical of his methods than the man himself, Atkinson summarizes, "Even for men who had seen horrific bloodletting in Vietnam, no Asian jungle was more stressful than the endless weeks they spent in Norman Schwarzkopf's Riyadh basement."
Still, this is not a book about Schwarzkopf. Everyone and everything gets their due coverage - cruise missiles of all kinds, scuds, Colin Powell and Dick Cheney, British special forces, the Israeli Defense Minister, Iraq's Republican Guard, and others. Again, the scope is impressive.
Except for any secrets that may be declassified in the future, "Crusade" is still the most comprehensive account of Desert Storm and Desert Shield. If you think you know everything there is to know about the Gulf War, you are guaranteed to learn something new from "Crusade."
