Examining the complexities of war in the gulf region, and looking in detail at the experiences of the first Gulf War, this book provides in-depth explanation of the challenges of the region and how today's forces and hardware can face its challenges, and of the multi-track approaches involved in geopolitics today. The book follows the evolution of both General Zinni and the Marine Corps, from the cauldron of Vietnam through the operational revolution of the '70s and '80s, to the new realities of the post-cold war, post-9/11 military, a military with a radically different job and radically different tools for accomplishing it.
