Desert Storm - Jackson, Matt

. .

Résumé :
Can Saddam's Army hold its own... ...against the weight of American military might? Tanks, armored personnel carriers, helicopters, paratroopers, and amphibious assault vehicles mobilize to bring the pain for Operation Desert Storm. Will Saddam use chemical and biological weapons to try and even the score? The mighty guns of the USS Iowa and Wisconsin support one final amphibious assault. Will their 36-inch, 2,000-pound shells shatter the Iraqi defenses and open the way for the Marines? The largest tank battle since World War II is brewing. What if America didn't stop in southern Iraq? Abrams battle tanks chase the Republican Guard to the outskirts of Baghdad. Could now be the time for a civilian uprising? Will Saddam be deposed, and the ruling Baath Party come to an end? You'll love this gripping conclusion to the Crisis in the Desert series because it will keep you turning the pages until the very last moment. Get it now!

Biographie:
Born into a Navy Submarine Family, I traveled the world as a child. Since I was born in 1947 and until 1993, every three years I moved to a new location as a military brat and as a service member. Enlisted in the Army in 1968 after two worthless years of college and became an Army helicopter pilot serving for 18 months in Vietnam. Was promoted to a commissioned officer while serving in Vietnam and stayed on active duty until 1993. In that time I commanded rifle companies at Fort Lewis Washington and Anchorage Alaska where I commanded an airborne company. Highlight of my career was commanding an air assault infantry battalion during Operation Desert Shield/Storm. The Army sent me back to college to finish my bachelors degree and later working on my own, two master degrees. Once I retired I went into private business and finally retired in 2015. My wife has been with me for 51 years now and I have two sons, both Army officers who rose up through the ranks like their grandfather and me.
