Contemporary
Tom Willard's critically acclaimed Black Sabre Chronicles
trace the
130-year history of the Sharps military family from the time
of the
Western Indian Wars through the two World Wars, Vietnam,
and, in this
fifth and final novel, the Gulf War of
1990-1991.
Lieutenant
Argonne Sharps is a West Pointer and the only black woman to
pilot a
Kiowa reconnaissance helicopter in the 101st
Airborne "Screaming
Eagles" division. She is assigned to the Persian Gulf in
preparation
for the 101st's deployment to Saudi Arabia in Operation
Desert Shield,
and in its behind-the-lines assault into Iraq in Operation
Desert Storm.
Her
valor in "extracting" Special Forces officer Jerome Moody
from Kuwait
City earns Argonne a Bronze Star citation and Moody's
undying
gratitude-and love.
Argonne's experiences in the Gulf
War impact
her family at the Black Sabre Ranch in Arizona-a military
family
anguishing over seeing their beloved daughter become the
first woman,
and fifth generation of Sharpses to go to war.
Tom
Willard's intimate knowledge of combat-earned in
Vietnam-gives Sword of Valor a special ring of
authenticity as the brief, high-tech war unfolds, and the
Sharps family history of warfare unfolds with it.
