Book Description
When the U.S. went to war in Iraq during the first Gulf War, Robert
Stanek was there. He lived and breathed combat from the opening days of
the war to its end and beyond. In this book, this bestselling author
chronicles the military life, his experiences in the war with vivid
accounts of combat training before the war, reflections on life, family,
duty, honor, and love, and remembrances of combat missions into the
heart of Baghdad.
Candid and fast-paced like the best combat memoirs,
Stanek focuses on the men and women he flew with, telling their stories
as well as his own and creating what is ultimately an inspiring and
uplifting story of the human spirit challenged by the agony and terror
of war. Based on the inspiring true story, this is the only book about
electronic warfare operations in Iraq written by a military flyer who
was there.
Robert Stanek's experiences in the Gulf War changed his life and helped
drive his successful career as a writer and entrepreneur. To date, he
has written and had published over 50 books. His books are sold all over
the world and have been translated into many languages. His
distinguished accomplishments during the Gulf War earned him nine
medals, including our nation’s highest flying honor, the Distinguished
Flying Cross.
From the Publisher
In 1991, the entire world watched as the first President Bush
marshaled a global coalition to confront Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein
and gave him an ultimatum: leave Kuwait by Jan. 15, 1991, or we'll force
you out. In this landmark book, Robert Stanek, veteran author of The
Pieces of the Puzzle and many other bestselling books, provides an
inspiring story of family, honor, and duty in the midst of the Persian
Gulf War.
Extraordinary in its scope, beautifully written, Stormjammers combines a
riveting first-person account of the secretive world of Electronic
Warfare with the sensitivity and insights of an acclaimed writer steeped
in history, tragedy, and inspiration, to deliver a masterful account of
airpower's role in the Persian Gulf.
Never before has the secretive world of Electronic Warfare been made so
bare, been so utterly rendered, and so utterly personal. Stormjammers is
intensely fascinating and as detailed as a Clancy novel with vivid
descriptions of the intense electronic warfare operations of the Persian
Gulf war.
