Send us a text

In this our 13th Season Premiere, we begin our look back at the Gulf War, Desert Storm, as President Bush leads a united World to push back the dictator, Saddam Hussein, from Kuwait.
This season will be broken apart into little mini-series of historic events in and incredibly consequential year in the history of not only the United States but of the World as well. We will be looking back at the Gulf War, the American and Soviet Summer Summit, the Soviet Coup attempt, the Appointment of Clarence Thomas to the United States Supreme Court, and the fall of the Soviet Union. It just seemed like earth shattering events kept coming one right after the other throughout 1991.
We will try to capture them on our 13th season of podcasts, starting with this episode as we capture the start of the air campaign in Kuwait and Iraq. It is here on January 16, 1991, that Operation Desert Storm begins.
