Desert voices : an oral history anthology of Marines in the Gulf War, 1990-1991
The Gulf War was a successful test of the Marine Corp's air-ground task force concept, and the interviews in this anthology have been organzied according to that concept. The first chapter consists of a long interview conducted with General Walter E. Boomer, commander of the I Marine Expeditionary Force and the senior Marine commander in the Middle East during the war, illustrating a broad view of the battlefield. The second chapter contains interviews with the Marine aviators who supported the ground advance. The third chapter includes those Marines whose intelligence and logistical support made the attack possible. The fourth chapter includes interviews with the Marines on the ground who breached the defense of Kuwait and physically liberated Kuwait City. -- foreward
