Operation Desert Storm Volume 2

“This short monograph covers a great deal and captures so much of the planning, build-up, politics, and actual liberation of Kuwait….Hooton also, in an atypical approach, gives voice to Iraqi generals and their strategic and operational decisions. Despite its brevity, this is a handy reference to and summary of the Desert Storm campaign.” * Air Power History *“Recommended for those interested in the logistics of Operation Desert Storm and the subsequent liberation of Kuwait.” * AMPS *“Lots of numbers percolate through the text about the Coalition taking back Kuwait from Iraq in 1991. Better yet, especially for wargamers, it also includes 16 tables containing a variety of OOB and action information.” * Historical Miniatures Gaming Society *

Tom Cooper is an Austrian aerial warfare analyst and historian. Following a career in worldwide transportation business – during which he established a network of contacts in the Middle East and Africa – he moved into narrow-focus analysis and writing on small, little-known air forces and conflicts, about which he has collected extensive archives. This has resulted in specialization in such Middle Eastern air forces as of those of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, plus various African and Asian air forces. Except for authoring and co-authoring more than 30 books and over 1000 articles, Cooper is a regular correspondent for multiple defense-related publications.
