Black & White Edition Desert Storm Diary is an insightful
account of the first Persion Gulf War as witnessed by a reserve
officer from North Dakota. Carefully detailed with entries from
Col. Franklin Hook's wartime diary, the book captures the
experiences of this physician and Army reservist called up and
charged with command of the 311th Evacuation Hospital. Col. Hook's
riveting report includes caring for patients in a combat zone and
flying Medevac missions, while navigating problems with higher
headquarters and negotiating with Arab Muslim civilians. Desert
Storm Diary documents the chronology of the war, including its
major battles, its leaders and its countless heroes. Desert Storm
Diary also captures a story beyond military history as it unfolds
as a family memoir recounting the Gulf War experiences of Hook's
two sons, Bill and Paul, both deployed overseas at the same time
and serving as a B-52 pilot and an Abrams M1-A1 tank platoon
commander respectively. Bill and Paul's stories are featured as
father-son interviews, and Col. Hook captures the spirit of a
father's simultaneous pride and concern as he documents Bill's role
in the last B-52 mission over Baghdad and describes his own angst
over hearing a serviceman from North Dakota was missing after a
B-52 bombing run. Col. Hook's memoir closes with an epilogue of
informative perspective, "Reflections and the Ten Commandments of
Muslim Diplomacy."
