A definitive account of the Gulf War told by Pulitzer Prize–winning correspondent Rick Atkinson.This previously untold story of the US war with Iraq in the early 1990s, Atkinson follows the 42-day war from the first night to the final day, providing vivid accounts of bombing runs, White House strategy sessions, firefights, and bitter internal conflicts.
This work investigates the operational, political, and human complexities of the 1991 Gulf War to provide a comprehensive record of the conflict.
