🚜 ABOUT THE BOOK

When Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, a coalition of nations rallied to stop the aggression. Among the first armored units called to fight was:

Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 70th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored Division — “Bandit.”

Written by Captain Mark T. Gerges, the commander of Bandit Company, Bandit is a rare firsthand account that follows:

• The company’s stationing in Cold War Germany

• Their sudden deployment to Saudi Arabia

• Their movement into Iraq and Kuwait during Desert Storm

• The fury of the Battle of Medina Ridge, the largest U.S. tank battle since WWII

Gerges blends tactical precision, human emotion, and historical insight, creating a ground-level story of what it means to go to war — and what it costs the soldiers and families who lived it.
