Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 70th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored Division-better known as \"Bandit\"-was one of nearly two hundred American armor and infantry companies that were called to fight. Bandit: The Inside Story of an Abrams Tank Company during Desert Storm tells the tale of the sixty-three soldiers and officers in this army unit.Author Mark T. Gerges, Bandit's former commander, recounts the company's pre-Gulf War stationing in Germany, the unit's unexpected deployment to Saudi Arabia, and subsequent combat in Iraq. Bandit features a firsthand account of the Battle of Medina Ridge, the largest US tank battle since World War II, and uses journals, letters, and military orders to present a full snapshot of one unit during Desert Storm. Through interviews with soldiers and spouses, Gerges provides an all-encompassing view of the operation, including the costs to those at home.Bandit closely follows the experiences of those who served with Gerges, providing the human story of a tank company at the end of the Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52180055818528,"sku":"NEW1985903903","price":45.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71jfpAeXN7L.jpg?v=1786536304","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/bandit-the-inside-story-of-an-abrams-tank-company-during-desert-storm-battles-and-campaigns-series-1985903903","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
