Weapon systems, tanks, training, small arms, Special Forces, attack helicopters, Scud missiles, defended positions, spy satellites, ammunition types, combat engineering, the threat of chemical and biological warfare , and many other factors which helped determine the course of the conflict are examined in detail.

3.0 out of 5 stars
An OK book,
By James D. Crabtree "Doc Crabtree" (Fort Leavenworth, Kansas) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Desert Storm Land Power : The Coalition and Iraqi Armies (Paperback)
Has some good photography but is very generalized regarding many of the Coalition ground units during the First Gulf War. A good reference book to go with other material.
