General Frederick M. Franks, Jr., commanded the armor and infantry of VII Corps, the main coalition force that broke the back of Iraq's Republican Guard. Never before have the land war, and the art of maneuver warfare itself, been explored so incisively and in such rich, provocative detail. Clancy and Franks take us deep inside the war councils and command posts and up to the front lines, to show us a war that few people even knew that television never showed. Beyond that, however, Into the Storm is the account of transformations---the transformation of an American army traumatized by the Vietnam War and that of a man devastated by the loss of a leg in that war. The former became once again the world's most powerful force the latter, one of his country's most honored commanders-the first amputee active duty general since the Civil War. Together, the story of that army and that man, and the wars they fought, make Into the Storm an instant classic of military history.
