A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

From the Commanders series, this is worldwide bestselling author Tom Clancy's deep look into the operational art of war as practised in the first Gulf War. Seen through the eyes of one of America's most outstanding commanders, General Frederick M. Franks, Jr, this is an incisive analysis of the greatest military triumph since the Second World War. Franks commanded the armour and infantry of VII Corps, the main coalition force that broke the back of Iraq's Republican Guard. He is also the first amputee active-duty general since the Civil War. Together the story of the army, the man and the war they fought have made this a classic bestseller.

Biographie de l'auteur

A little more than thirty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.
