Synopsis

"In the absence of orders, go find something and kill it." - Erwin Rommel

Meet the frontline heroes of America's greatest tank battle.

On February 26, 1991, Ghost Troop of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment charged into southern Iraq-and smashed head-on into the Republican Guard. The result became one of the fastest, fiercest armored victories of Operation Desert Storm: the legendary Battle of 73 Easting.

Based on exclusive interviews and deep battlefield research, Days of Fury puts you in the gunner's seat through first-hand accounts from the soldiers who fought it. Ride with the tankers and scouts who turned a desert gridline into a moment of American military legend.

Inside you'll find:

  • Minute-by-minute retelling of the battle
  • Personal stories from Ghost Troop's tankers and scouts
  • Gritty, soldier's-eye view of modern warfare
  • Raw look at combat leadership and courage under fire

Experience the battle.

Meet the men who fought it.

Ride with Ghost Troop into the storm.
