This title is based upon author Stuart Crawford's diary, which he kept whilst working as a staff officer in Headquarters British Forces Middle East. He was based in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia during the First Gulf War 1990-91. As a member of the 'nightshift', Crawford witnessed and recorded events as they happened. His entries include the first air attacks on Iraq, the retaliatory SCUD missile attacks on Saudi Arabia and Israel, and the progress of the mercifully short land campaign which resulted in allied forces deep in Iraq and the Iraqi surrender.
