Description
This is story of a tank crew and troop in a modern war, a type of "Modern Fury” of Brad Pitt fame. The Gulf War of 1990-91 was probably the last major deployment of arms by the UK on such a scale and a larger gathering of armour than the Battle of Kursk in WW II.
This is a personal account of the Gulf War 1990-91 and the liberation of Kuwait and Operation Desert Storm / Operation Granby by a Troop Leader in a front line tank squadron; B Squadron The 14/20th Kings Hussars, 4th Armoured Brigade, 1 British Division. Forward by General Sir Richard Shirreff.
This is not a political or strategic study, but a look at the lives of the men who lived and fought on and from their tanks. It is a personal first hand account of the lives of soldiers in a desert war.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"No striving after heroics, none of the bull s--t so common among many war memoirs: Just good, plain down to Earth stuff devoid of modern "spin". I thought this an excellent read (John Hollands author of The Dead The Dying and The Damned)
