ORLANDO, FLORIDA March 26, 2008 — In The Gulf War Chronicles: A Military History of the First War with Iraq award-winning author and military historian Richard S. Lowry exposes the myths surrounding Operation Desert Storm, and writes what really happened during America’s first war with Iraq. In this comprehensive and riveting book, Lowry provides a moment-by moment, engrossing account of the United States’ battles with the surprisingly forceful and brutal Iraqi army. Readers of The Gulf War Chronicles learn for the first time the true story behind Operation Desert Storm, and gain a new perspective on a war that was widely described by the media as a decisive, if not easy, victory.
On January 17th, 1991 the first two dozen F-117 Stealth fighter jets took off from Saudi Arabia to begin an unprecedented air attack deep within Iraqi borders. Using remarkably detailed descriptions of each subsequent encounter with the enemy, Lowry draws his readers into the heart of Operation Desert Storm. The author paints in vivid colors each stage of the war from the initial massive assault of the U.S. Armed Forces against Hussein’s army, through each important battle that led finally to the Iraqi surrender. From the giant battleships waiting patiently in the sea to the historic armored tanks rolling steadily over the desert sand, The Gulf War Chronicles provides an incredible, at times painful, narrative of the United States’ heroic struggle to defeat a cunning new enemy.
Written in laymen’s terms yet with enough accuracy for any seasoned military buff, The Gulf War Chronicles provides a thrilling and thorough look at the first chapter in the world’s conflict with Iraq, and shows how Operation Desert Storm set the stage for our current Middle East conflicts. The Gulf War Chronicles is a complete, compelling and mesmerizing account of America’s fight against the forces of Saddam Hussein.
