- Summary
- "The First Infantry Division and the US Army Transfromed sheds fresh light and understanding on the combat experiences of soldiers and units in the 1991 Gulf War. Greg Fontenon, an accomplished soldier and historian as well as a veteran of that war, explains how that lopsided victory was rooted in the Army's Renaissance after the Vietnam War. In his expert telling, Fontenot makes clear that understanding the experience of the First Infantry Division in Desert Storm is important to preparing for future armed conflict." -- From jacket.
