Schubert and team do a great job with the facts. If you are interested in a primer on The Gulf War, this is the book for you. But for more entertaining non-fiction reads about Operation Desert Storm, I recommend Gordon & Trainors' The Generals' War, Atkinson's Crusade, or Woodward's The Commanders.
