From the author's introduction: "My purpose is a narrative history of the 1st Infantry Division from 1970 through the Operation Desert Storm celebration held 4th of July 1991. This story is an account of the revolutionary changes in the late Cold War. The Army that overran Saddam Hussein's Legions in four days was the product of important changes stimulated both by social changes and institutional reform. The 1st Infantry Division reflected benefits of those changes, despite its low priority for troops and material. The Division was not an elite formation, but rather excelled in the context of the Army as an institution." 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 10 United States.|bArmy.|bInfantry Division, 1st|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81075892|xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006165 610 17 United States.|bArmy.|bInfantry Division, 1st.|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/558401 647 7 Persian Gulf War|d(1991)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1058380 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Persian Gulf War, 1991|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh91001459|xRegimental histories|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005740|zUnited States. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|z0826221181|z9780826221186|w(DLC) 2017933331 830 0 American military experience series.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2010082259 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1496789|zOnline eBook.
