In the Eye of the Storm: Commanding the Desert Rats in the Gulf War

Product Information

From the launch of Operation Desert Sabre, the ground phase of the war, on 24 February 1991, the British force would advance 180 miles in 66 hours, destroy the equivalent of three Iraqi armoured divisions, and capture over 7,000 prisoners. In one instance, a tank of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards destroyed an Iraqi tank at a range of 3 miles, a distance record still unbeaten today. Modern weapon systems, integrated forces, and tactics developed to fight the Soviets in the Cold War proved unbeatable, even to the well-equipped and combat-tested Iraqi forces.
