Synopsis

From the Commanders series, this is worldwide bestselling author Tom Clancy's deep look into the operational art of war as practised in the first Gulf War. Seen through the eyes of one of America's most outstanding commanders, General Frederick M. Franks, Jr, this is an incisive analysis of the greatest military triumph since the Second World War. Franks commanded the armour and infantry of VII Corps, the main coalition force that broke the back of Iraq's Republican Guard. He is also the first amputee active-duty general since the Civil War. Together the story of the army, the man and the war they fought have made this a classic bestseller.
