Oral history by Marines who fought to liberate Kuwait from Saddam Hussein's invading forces. "Engrossing . . . with a wealth of first-hand accounts. . . . Coverage of the Khafji engagement alone is worth the book."--Lieutenant Colonel Charles Cureton, author of U.S. Marines in the Persian Gulf, 1990-1991: With the 1st Marine Division in Desert Shield and Desert Storm "The focus on 'middle-level managers' makes this book of interest and value. The accounts are good. . . . Following members of a single battalion provides a unity to the story, . . . and the different perspectives convey the confusion of combat. The language is raw, but authentic. Current fighting, some twelve years after these events, makes it significant narrative of the past as prelude."--Charles D. Melson, Chief Historian, Marine Corps Historical Center "An outstanding chronicle. . . . America's Battallion is a narrative describing the emotions and actions of Marines in war. It's a story of sacrifice and perserverance in an inhospitable desert and hostile environment. The Battalion's Marines represent the diversity of America and the unity of our commitment to freedom for all."--Maj. Gen. John H. Admire, United States Marine Corps (Retired)
