Paperback. Condition: Very Good. My primary aim in writing this book is to demonstrate the importance of individual human beings in modern warfare. In the battle to drive the Iraqi army out of Kuwait, Coalition forces used every form of high-technology weapon available; yet in the end success depended on the performance of individuals, whether they were pilots, divers, tank drivers, mechanics, engineers, cooks, radio operators, infantrymen, nurses or officers of all ranks. It was these ordinary people who, at the end of the day, were going to put their lives on the line and risk their neck when their Government decided to go to war. Gen. Sir Peter de la Billiere.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. 216 pp, large 8vo (9 7/8" H). B&w and colour photographs. "In September 1990 Richard Boswell was a newly qualified helicopter pilot in the Royal Navy, fresh out of flight school and flying one of the most potent fighting helicopters in the world - the Westland Lynx. The world was at his feet in every sense. Then, on the day he and his girlfriend decided to buy a house together, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. With less than 24 hours notice, Richard Boswell was onboard HMS Manchester and en-route to the Gulf and impending war. Once in the Gulf, HMS Manchester prepared for the seaborne invasion that most thought was inevitable. Boswell saw action against Iraqi forces, protecting Allied ships and sinking a number of Iraqi gunboats. After the liberation of Kuwait, he flew extensively around the devastated country, when his duties included a spell as pilot for Sir Peter de la Billiere. But his story does not end there. After returning to the UK , Boswell became an instructor and also indulged his passion for flying home-built aircraft, a passion that led to the accident that nearly killed him and ended his days as a Navy pilot. The portrayal of the battle to rebuilt his shattered life is every bit as graphic as his wartime experiences in the Gulf." Minor wrinkling at top of spine - very light at bottom. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at bottom of spine.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. With B&W Illus. (illustrator). Inscribed on title page by General Sir Peter de la Billiere. "John and Bridget. with best wishes and thanks Pete, Pete de la Billiere. 8 Oct 92). Small newspaper clipping about the author attached to title facing page. Maps, b & w photographs.348 pages clean and tight. Desert Storm was a war like no other. Fought with weapons of a sophistication beyond anything previously displayed in battle, against a ruthless dictator whose invasion of Kuwait had been universally condemned, it was a conflict waged with an unparalleled sense of international common purpose. Under the fierce glare of world media attention, commanders had to be appointed to manage a highly volatile situation - with hostages shielding Saddam Hussein's military installations, Iraq's breached trade sanctions needing enforcement, the constant threat of chemical warfare and the Coalition's objectives gradually shifting from defence to offence. One officer stood head and shoulders above his peers as the man to command the British forces in the Gulf. After a lifetime in the SAS, and as the most decorated officer in the Army, with experience of tn-service command in the Falklands and a comprehensive understanding of Arab life and language, General Sir Peter de la Billière was unique in having all the credentials for the task. Immediately establishing a close rapport with the American Commander-in-Chief, General Norman Schwarzkopf, and continually in touch with Whitehall, General de la Billière was at the centre of all the Coalition's work. He was responsible for the RAF on its wave after wave of bombing runs, the Royal Navy's operations in the Gulf itself and the British Army on several fronts in a theatre of war spanning eight nation states and one million square miles of the Middle East. Storm Command is the fascinating, revelatory chronicle of war from the Allied nerve centre, analysing the Americans' brilliant execution of the air and the land campaigns. It shows in riveting detail how the British commander insisted on transferring his ground forces to a more crucial sector of the battlefield and how he persuaded Schwarzkopf to deploy the SAS in the western desert of Iraq. It is also the portrait of an exceptional commander in action - at one moment accompanying John Major to an audience with King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, the next settling down for a night on the sand beside a Challenger tank as he visits units in the desert - in the greatest British military conflict since the Second World War. GENERAL SIR PETER DE LA BIwERi was born in 1934, educated at Harrow School and joined the KSLI in 1952. After commissioning into the Durham Light Infantry he served with 1 DLI in Japan, Korea and then for two years in the Suez Canal Zone and in Jordan. In 1956 he joined the Special Air Service and fought the communist terrorists in Malaya. In 1959 he led a troop during the assault in Jebel Akdar, where he won his first Military Cross. From 1964 to 1966 General de la Billière commanded A Squadron 22 SAS on operations in Radfan and Borneo, gaining a bar to his MC. He later returned to 22 SAS as Second-in-Command and subsequently Commanding Officer. During the period 1969-74 he commanded operations in Musandam and Dhofar. He was appointed a Member of the Distinguished Service Order. In 1977 General de la Billière assumed command of the British Army Training Team in Sudan. Between 1979 and 1983 he commanded the Special Air Service Group and was in overall military command of the outstandingly successful assault to release the hostages held in the Iranian Embassy in London. He was appointed CBE in 1983 and KCB in 1988. On 6 October 1990 General de la Billière assumed command of the British Forces in the Middle East. Under his command the UK contingent expanded from 14,000 at the beginning of November 1990 to more than 45,000 at the end of hostilities against Iraq in February 1991. After his return to the UK, he was appointed KBE, promoted General and became special adviser to the M. Inscribed By Author.
