The hardback front and back covers add up to a greater thickness than the pages of this very short, but glossy narrative of Desert Storm.  At 32 pages, this book may leave a discerning reader with more questions than answers.  The photography dominates each page.  Text is short and choppy, with helpful vocabulary terms in bold type and defined in boxes at the bottom of each page.  Despite the two-page spread entitled “Liberated,” the text ends abruptly with the fact that troops remained in Iraq “in the summer of 2010 and beyond.”  A scanty index is included at the end.  This book may hold more appeal to young readers interested in “war” than those doing serious historical research.
