In den WarenkorbTrade paperback. Zustand: Good. Presumed first edition/first printing. xviii, [2], 271, [1] pages. Illustrations. Map. Index. Cover has some wear, a tear at the spine, and staining on the back. Captain Vriesenga presents a compilation of essays by 34 participants below the rank of major who contributed to the Gulf War. As we loo…k at history, we often limit our scope to the deeds and thoughts of those in command during times of crisis. In the case of DESERT STORM, accounts of the contributions of the great newsmakers are hitting the shelves with regularity. Harder to find are the perspectives of the many who contributed their individual pushes to the war effort. This book helps fill that void. It focuses on the contributions of company grade Air Force officers to victory in the desert.The personal experiences presented here come from the heart of America's fighting force. They are but a few of the thousands of stories produced by the war. Some contain a bit of humor. Some are deadly serious. All are interesting and revealing. They reflect the continuing commitment and capability of America's military to protect and defend US interests. They also reflect the pride and individual skill of the men and women who comprise the world's finest fighting force.Today's United States Air Force is one of the most complex of human endeavors-many thousands of people working together in hundreds of different specialties to defend America through control and exploitation of air and space. These specialties are interlocked and mutually supporting. This book may help you better understand how all that works as you read firsthand the experiences of the men and women who perform many of the specialties. In reading their stories, you'll also gain a better appreciation for the men and women themselves. They're real flesh and blood people who traveled a great distance to take on a very difficult task-and succeeded spectacularly. You'll experience their fear, frustration, fatigue, and boredom as well as their exhilaration and triumph.
