Sinopse

This fast-paced and compelling listen closes a significant gap in the historiography of the late Cold War US Army and is crucial for understanding the current situation in the Middle East.

From the author's introduction: “My purpose is a narrative history of the 1st Infantry Division from 1970 through the Operation Desert Storm celebration held 4th of July 1991. This story is an account of the revolutionary changes in the late Cold War. The Army that overran Saddam Hussein’s Legions in four days was the product of important changes stimulated both by social changes and institutional reform. The 1st Infantry Division reflected benefits of those changes, despite its low priority for troops and material. The Division was not an elite formation, but rather excelled in the context of the Army as an institution.”

This book begins with a preface by Gordon R. Sullivan, General, USA, retired. In 12 chapters, author Gregory Fontenot explains the history of the 1st infantry Division from 1970 to 1991. In doing so, his fast-paced narrative includes elements to expand the knowledge of non-military listeners. These elements include a glossary, a key to abbreviations, and thorough bibliography.

This audiobook is published with support from the First Division Museum at Cantigny.
