- John Keegan in a review of a book on the Gulf War :
-
- The Gulf Conflict,1990-1991:Diplomacy and War in the New World Order
- by Lawrence Friedman and Efraim Karsh pub. Faber
-
- states : "In particular, the success of the US 1st Infantry Division's
- engineers in opening a way through the minefields, which
- professionals think as remarkable as anything done in the air
- war is not discussed at all."
-
- Now I don't want to start a "yes it was, no it wasn't war", but could
- anyone out there email me some references on this, as it has not been
- discussed in any of the radio/TV analysis of op DS I have come across.
- Something with good pictures would be nice.
