Project 19 - Jackson, Matt

. .

Résumé :
What if Saddam Hussein... ...hadn't stopped with Kuwait? Project 19 might have worked. No one knows how close Iraq came to invading Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. They wanted their money, and Saddam wanted revenge. In a world where the USSR ran a lend-lease program with the Iraqis, Saddam felt emboldened. He'd convince the world that he was just bringing their 19th province back into the fold. With an oil war going on, the Soviets threw their hats into the ring behind Iraq. If they'd had all the latest in equipment, the 100 hours war wouldn't be so easily fought. It could have changed history. Would the Americans ultimately decide that this was a problem for the Arab nations to work out amongst themselves? Would the stakes change? How would Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm have turned out? You'll love this alternate history novel. It's well-researched and will make you ask what might have been. 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.
