Certain Victory: The U.S. Army in the Gulf War (The History of War)

Robert Scales

Written in a colorful, readable style, Certain Victory chronicles the Army’s remarkable regeneration in the two decades after Vietnam–the foundation of the Desert Storm victory. Each chapter starts with a compelling personal combat story that puts the conflict into human perspective. A "quick read" without military jargon, Certain Victory brings the civilian reader into battle alongside individual soldiers. With a foreword by former Army Chief of Staff Gen. Gordon R. Sullivan.

Certain Victory: The U.S. Army in the Gulf War (The History of War) is on the General Eric Shinseki list.
