Description
A journalist who accompanied a senior commanding general as he led his troops into battle during Desert Storm gives an insider's view of the heroism and tragedy that she witnessed on the front line.
Molly Moore, senior correspondent for The Washington Post, didn't think she'd be the only US journalist with a close-up view of the Gulf War, but when Lt. Gen. Walter Boomer, commander of the US Marine forces, invited her to shadow him while his troops planned and executed the invasion of Kuwait, that's exactly the situation she found herself in.
The result of this brave journalistic effort is a vivid and dramatic account of the Gulf War?one that does justice to the diligent, gutsy marines that successfully drove Saddam Hussein's military from the country, without romanticizing the horrors of battle. Tense, chaotic, and thrumming with emotional resonance, Moore's examination of the invasion offers indispensable insight into the 100-hour invasion that formed the overture to America's War on Terror.
