“Desert Redleg” Release!
May 19, 2020 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
My first book, “Desert Redleg: Artillery Warfare in the First Gulf War” is released today!
When Saddam Hussein’s Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, triggering the First Gulf War, a coalition of thirty-five countries led by the United States responded with Operation Desert Storm, which culminated in a one-hundred-hour coordinated air strike and ground assault that repelled Iraqi forces from Kuwait. Though largely forgotten in descriptions of the war, an eight-day barrage of artillery fire made this seemingly rapid offensive possible. At the forefront of this offensive were the brave field artillerymen known as “redlegs.” You can buy it here.
