Eddingtons book comes off as a well-written, well-documented account of what happens when a CIA employee rocks the boat. It raises concerns that go beyond Desert Storm, a fear that the CIA has given up its independence form the Pentagon.The Birmingham News, 7/13/97

5.0 out of 5 stars For Desert Storm veterans
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2021
Verified Purchase
If you are a Desert Storm veteran who served in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait from January through May 1991 this book is a must-have reference book and a must-read book for what you may have been exposed to during your service in the Gulf. The sourcing and citations are excellent and verifiable. Pay particular attention to the incident indexing. This book saves months and months of research time on GulfLink and other military and intelligence sources. The author has already done all the work and his credentials are impeccable. I also purchased his follow-on book Long Strange Journey which I also recommend.

While some people will argue that some of the information in this book is questionable, I would say that you can search out most of the information the author cites in their research. I found several parts of this book very compelling. Nice purchase.

after four days (24-27 Feb 1991) of using NBC Measures at m.o.p.p. level four in the ground war why did we not put on m.o.p.p. gear for Demolition of Khamisiyah Pit (10-13 march 1991) that was a mile or two away from us who were your security!

All the sources of info are are referenced in the book if you want to "fact check" the story. It's disgusting what has happened, yet oh so typical of the beaurocratic hypocrites that we have allowed to run amuck in D.C. for far too long. If this story doesn't infuriate you, check for a pulse.

4.0 out of 5 stars Responding to the review by Mr. Columbus Ohio.
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2000
Dear Readers,
I urge you to read this book if you are truly concerned about this issue and then get the Senate Committee book indicated at the end of this review. I grew up in Ohio as well as the other reviewer and I can tell you and especially him that he is wrong. I spent 17 months hospitalized after being "gassed in the gulf" and medevacced out unconscious to Germany following a total body seizure and over 6 hours of loss of consciousness. The 12 eyewitness written accounts of what had happened to me were gathered by my Brigade Commander and he included a personal statement that accompanied my medevac file. That portion of the file was sealed and CLASSIFIED was written over its outer jacket. I personally saw over 300 seriously wounded long term nerve gas related patients come in and out of the research ward of one of the military's largest hospitals for over one year. I didn't even recognize my own wife at 2 months after the medevac and could barely speak. Mr. Clueless from Columbus may believe whatever bull Schwarzkopf or any General wants to feed him, but it will never dispute the true eyewitness facts of that war that have rarely been told. In fact many of us now retired army and marine disabled veterans from the Gulf question whether he even received the reports of chemical contamination or whether he wanted greater confirmation due to the relatively low number of serious nerve agent injuries. Columbus should know how the military works and how reporting up the chain of command sometimes gets turned around right on top of you because most careerists are too worried about their ratings to report anything negative to, for example, a Brigade level commander. YOU MUST REMEMBER, the Media was under complete military control during the Gulf War. Had they been with the Saudi unit I was with they would have seen a number of serious injuries in verified areas of chemical detection--that were verified by the Select Senate Committee in eyewitness testimony from Americans and Foriegn Coalition NCO's and Officers--just like the book indicates. If Mr. Columbus wants to keep on believing his own version due to his prior service visits to the local N.B.C. chemical training chamber he can do so without remorse and continue on with his merry life. If Mr. Columbus cares about the truth and wants the real facts and not just from this book, he should write his Senator and get the following factual 160 page testimony and then he can repeal his bogus words and review:
U.S. Chemical and Biological Warfare-Related Dual Use Exports to Iraq and Their Possible Impact on the Health Consequences of the Persian Gulf War. A report of Chairman Donald Riegle, and Ranking Member Alfonse D'Amato, United States Senate, May 25, 1994.
In fact, please send me another copy for one of my disabled friends so that I can give it to him for his pending lawsuit.
By the way, if any of you are concerned, the Veteran's Administration and their hospitals have done a lot of really excellent work with sick veterans and does not believe the released Army and CIA reports from the war. Go see them if you need any help and don't take no for an answer.
By the way Mr. Columbus, the Army is paying me one hell of a lot of money for the rest of my life for what happened. Unfortunately that is the only Admission they will ever make of what really happened over there and YOU end up paying for it.
