	Author Ally to Adversary - An Eyewitness Account of Iraq's Fall from Grace ",,,from the secret meetings in Baghdad during the Iran-Iraq War, to cease-fire talks at a dusty airfield in southern Iraq in 1991, Ally to Adversary is the story of how Iraq, a virtual U.S. ally during its long war with Iran, came to be America's foe on the battlefields of Desert Storm and beyond. While for most Americans, Desert Storm was simply a war against a faceless enemy, for Rick Francona it was a war against friends and former colleagues." Naval Institute Press - ISBN 1557502811
