Desert Burning - New Book to Commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Operation Desert Storm
On August 2nd 1990, Saddam Hussein's army invaded tiny Kuwait and thus began Gulf War I. Many expatriate civilians were living in Arabia at that time and these Oil Field Workers remained to keep the oil flowing to the free world and at the same time provide support to the troops. This is their story.
Farmerville, LA, August 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Experiencing The Mother of All Battles
New book is a riveting historical novel about the civilians during Operation Desert Storm.
The Gulf War was considered by Saddam Hussein as ‘The Mother of all Battles.’ One can only imagine the magnitude of such war. Also known by its military name, it swept through like a Desert Storm killing thousands of soldiers and civilians in its wake. Author Thomas T. Fields pens a historical novel about the civilians during operation Desert Storm in Desert Burning.
Ted Atcheson wasn’t like other fathers who were home every night. His career took him away from his family while he worked for ARAMCO in Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia. When asked if he ever felt threatened there, he answered, “Never. The Saudis like the Americans. No real crime to speak of either. We don’t even have to lock the cars when we go downtown. I feel perfectly safe there.” But Ted’s latest stint there proves to be different from the others. War was looming as Iraq had invaded Kuwait. Can Ted make it out alive and return to his family safely?
Desert Burning is a fictional account but interwoven with historical facts. It gives readers a vivid glimpse of the gulf war through the civilians’ eyes. Like its moniker, Operation Desert Storm brought devastation and thousands of casualties. Yet it also provided an opportunity to bond many countries that were otherwise at odds with each other. As Tom Fields has stated, "Eventually, however, as is the case with war, the world lost a great opportunity to heal itself and live in peace."
