Certain Victory is a unique, clearest report of the US army's performance during Gulf War. It was researched and written under the author's instruction by a group of eight officers drawn from many different combat Gulf War. This begins by chronicling the Army's remarkable regeneration in the two decades after Vietnam the changes that were the foundation of the Desert Storm victory. Each chapter leads off with a compelling personal combat story that brings you right into battle alongside individual soldiers and puts the conflict into human perspective. The focus of Certain Victory is the operation and tactical levels of war. The political and diplomatic decision making that resulted in the Army's deployment decision to the South West Asia is mentioned incidentally and only to the degree that it sets the stage for the conflict. Certain Victory's treatment of other services and other nation's contribution to the defeat of Saddam Hussein intentionally focuses on those services and countries that most directly and immediately impacted on the Army's mission. Unfortunately, time and space did not permit us to include all units and key personalities. Certain Victory is a unique, clearest report of the US army's performance during Gulf War.
