An incisive account of the Persian Gulf War, Storm Over Iraq shows how the success of Operation Desert Storm was the product of two decades of profound changes in the American approach to defense, military doctrine, and combat operations. The first detailed analysis of why the Gulf War could be fought the way it was, the book examines the planning and preparation for war. Richard P. Hallion argues that the ascendancy of precision air power in warfare--which fulfilled the promise that air power had held for more than seventy-five years--reflects the revolutionary adaptation of a war strategy that targets things rather than people, allowing one to control an opposing nation without destroying it.

Chief of the USAF historical branch, Hallion is understandably proud of what "his" service accomplished in 1991, and it shows. Unfortunately, it (and the lack of the "long" view) sometimes causes him to overstate the effectiveness of Air Force's new weapons and tactics and to slight the contributions of the ground forces. Even so, Storm Over Iraq ranks along with Rick Atkinson's Crusade and Tom Clancy's Every Man A Tiger as one of the essential books on air power in the Gulf. ( )
