Storm on the Horizon: Khafji by David Morris
(out of 5 stars)
Storm on the Horizon turned out to be an unexpected gem of an account of modern warfare. The author, a Marine himself, is an outstanding researcher and storyteller, and puts the reader right in the middle of the battle in and around Khafji, Saudi Arabia. No extra fluff, no added drama, just he raw recollections of the men who witnessed and participated in thwarting the large mechanized Iraqi raid across the border prior to the Allied invasion of Kuwait in the first Gulf War. An excellent read for any warfare history buff. Four and one-half stars.
