Major General Patrick Cordingley commanded the 7th Armoured Brigade Group the Desert Rats -during the Gulf War and was awarded the DSO for his courage, leadership and inspiration. IN THE EYE OF THE STORM tells of his experiences from the moment he first heard of the deployment of his command to Saudi Arabia through to their withdrawal after victory, six months later.

Great Britain had not sent an armoured formation of such size and complexity to war since 1945. Patrick Cordingley explains how the difficulties of sustaining such a large force in unfamiliar terrain were overcome, how they trained and how they coped with the strain of waiting for the signal to attack and the near-certainty that chemical weapons would be used. Writing vividly about the stark realities of the ground war, the author describes the frightening, exhilarating and exhausting struggle as his troops covered an incredible distance in record time, using high-tech weaponry that had never been used in warfare before.
Although essentially a personal story, he also raises some important new questions about the conduct of the war, about the gap between politics and practicality and above all, between reported fact and reality.
A unique record of leadership, IN THE EYE OF THE STORM is an exceptional memoir of the personal struggle of being in a position of high command at a crucial moment in history. It also reminds us that although Desert Storm was a brief campaign it was, like every other war, not without its humour as well as its miscalculations and, above all, its very human side.
