About the Book

Desert Soul - One Soldiers's View of the Storm is a biographical description of events that happened during Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm (aka the Gulf War) as seen through the eyes of a US Army Specialist as he served with the 101st Airborne's Eagle Dustoff Medevac Unit

"I put my face and palms against the thick windows facing the north, I watched to my right, just over the top of the parking garage that the 101st Airborne Aviation Brigade called home. I then watched to my left just above the unfinished passenger gates as fire trail after fire trail jumped into the morning darkness, one after the other, from the right and then the left. Orange, Red, Yellow, Blue, and White fire trails emerged from the runways located on either side of our command post home here at King Fahd International Airport. Each trail is another warrior reaching out to do his duty for his country and for what he believes in, each trail heading north to their final objectives, each one heading for Baghdad."

"During Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm there were over a million allied troops deployed to the Saudi Arabian and Iraqi theatres of operation to force Saddam out of Kuwait. The United States armed forces put over 543,000 troops on the ground, in the waters, and in the skies in and around Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq."

"The following events describe SPC Michael Burec's journey through this important time in history."
About the Author: Michael Burec grew up like most kids did in the 1970's and 1980's in Kansas City Missouri. After High school he got married and had a child, joined the Army in 1987, and went to war with the 101st Airborne during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. This book is written in American English and does contain some curse words throughout to tell the story of events as close as possible to the way they happened. This is not an Official Military document, but just 1 man's view of an important time in his life. This book is about the struggles and time spent in a far away land building a Desert Shield and weathering a Desert Storm in the Saudi Desert. I hope you enjoy
