HarperCollins London 1982. Hard cover dust wrapper 348pp b&w plates. A little wear on dw edges else very good. De la Billiere commanded the British Forces in the First Gulf War: he was responsible for the RAF and its wave after wave of bombing runs, the Royal Navy's operations in the Gulf itself, and for the British Army in several fronts. Here he tells of his own experiences, and analyses the Americans' executions of the air and land campaigns. He provides a portrait of an exception commander in action.
