Description: "Captain Thompson had to suspend his longtime journal writing habit while attending the Marine Corps' Artillery Officers' Advanced Course, but quickly took it up again with the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and his impending deployment to the Persian Gulf in August 1990.".

"In three notebooks, Thompson wrote down everything he could, drawing maps, explaining his emotions, and oftentimes venting his anger. Upon his return he transformed them into this memoir, the hard truth about Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm."--BOOK JACKET.
