FROM THE DUST JACKET: "The Eyes of Orion is a highly personal account of the day-to-day experiences of five platoon leaders who served in the same tank battalion in the 24th Infantry Division during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. In August 1990 they deployed to Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Shield with one of the first armored units to arrive after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. In Desert Storm, these lieutenants led thier platoons in the 24th Division's maneuver around Kuwait to cut off retreating Iraqi forces. This maneuver covered more ground in less time than any other in military history.". Inscribed by Author.
