GENERAL SIR PETER DE LA BILLIERE - Storm Command. A Personal Account of the Gulf War
London England, HarperCollins, 1992. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0002551381 Hardback Hardback. Price clipped. Foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales. This book is the fascinating, revelatory chronicle of war from the Allied nerve centre, analysing the Americans' brillian execution of the air and the land campaigns. It shows in riveting detail how the British commander insisted on transferring his ground forces to a more crucial sector of the battlefield and how he persuaded Schwarzkopf to deploy the SAS in the western desert of iraq. It is also the portrait of an exceptional commander in action - at one moment accompanying John Major to an audience with King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, the next settling down for a night on the sand beside a Challenger tank as he visits units in the desert - in the greatest British military conflict since the Second World War. Illustrated. 348 pp. .
