Description

From historian and columnist in Leatherneck and Armor magazines, this is the exciting narrative account - based on interviews, first person accounts, and official documents - of a group of Marine reservists during 1991’s Operation Desert Shield/Storm.

In this war, thousands of reservists are called up for the first time since the Korean War.

The Marines of Bravo Company, 4th Tank Battalion, are hastily trained and sent into action leading the effort to free Kuwait.

Defeating the Iraqis in battle after battle, the Marines reach Kuwait City, accomplishing their objective.

Only a few weeks later, they are back home at their former jobs.

During their deployment they face enemy tanks, mines, and artillery as well as their own bureaucracy, petty jealousies, and one officer that fails to live up to his oath.

Their superior officers make debatable decisions, and they are often unsupported.

In the end, they find the support they need, the leadership they lack, and a comradeship comparable to historic units like the Band of Brothers, the Old Breed, Knights Templar, and Washington’s Immortals.
