"Accounts by military officers who have actually served in the field are relatively rare and, as a memoir, this book is unique. [Odom] is also a perceptive observer and is skilled at translating his perceptions and conclusions into verbal images and in evoking the feel and drama of the events. In particular, the book offers valuable insights into the culture of the army at high levels, based on the author's direct participation in key events, such as in the Gulf War, and his personal interaction with senior political and military officers. This is a darn good read!"--Norman Cigar, U.S. Marine Corps Command & Staff CollegeThomas P. Odom is the author of 'Journey into Darkness: Genocide in Rwanda (Williams-Ford Texas A&M University Military History Series)', published 2005 under ISBN 9781585444571 and ISBN 158544457X.
