In the recent war in Iraq, the 7th Armoured Brigade, bearers of the Desert Rats insignia, was immediately engaged in some of the fiercest early fighting, ultimately taking Basra for the Allies. John Parker draws heavily on first-hand accounts for a story that is a seminal part of modern military history.
