In this enjoyable memoir, Ian Williams looks back on his experiences during Operation Telic ~ the liberation of Iraq in 2003, as a member of the Territorial Army serving with the TIGER (Theatre Information General Equipment Register) team in Kuwait and Iraq.
In the sweltering heat of the desert, he and his TIGER team colleagues carried out their appointed duties, playing their part in the eventual victory, and his account of their experiences gives a good impression of what conditions were like for Allied troops on the ground during the campaign, who had to contend with an alien environment, a hostile climate, an unknown enemy and the constant threat of biological or chemical weapons being used against them.
