À propos de cet audio

Throughout the Gulf War of 1991, unprecedented restrictions on the media’s access to the battlefield kept the true story of that brief, brutal conflict from being told. Now, after two years of intensive research, Rick Atkinson has written what will surely come to be recognized as the definitive chronicle of the war.

Crusade follows the unfolding battle from the first night to the final day, providing vivid accounts of bombing runs and White House strategy sessions, fire-fights and bitter inter-service conflicts. Weaving individual stories into the larger narrative, Atkinson represents the allied campaign against Saddam Hussein as a wholly new kind of war, one that has transformed the nature of modern warfare.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"An engrossing account. Rich in pertinent details, the powerful narrative leaps nimbly from Washington to Riyadh." ( Publishers Weekly)

Les plus pertinents
I remembered the Gulf War as a kid and followed every stage of the conflict live as it happened on CNN. It was great to listen to this all these years later, it really put a lot of these events into a perspective that wasn’t possible as it was happening. I will say that I found the narration a bit frustrating. The narrator has a pleasant enough voice and he was mostly good to listen to, but had some of the most distractingly odd pronunciations of certain names.

Great overview
