The publishing arm of the U.S. Navy offers this chilling account of the Iraq war by Oregon’s Rick Francona, a retired Air Force Middle East specialist. Francona was point man to Iraq in 1987-1988 and served as Gen. Schwarzkopf’s personal interpreter. He chronicles the decline of United States/Iraqi relations, then offers a firsthand account of the day-to-day operations of Desert Storm. Unlike many carefully documented
histories, this is readable, with moments of both humor and tension.
