Irritable Heart The Medical Mystery of the Gulf War

"In THE IRRITABLE HEART Wheelwright powerfully conveys the menace of [the desert campaign's] bizarre battle zone. He was there as a journalist when Saddam Hussein turned Kuwait's oil wells and pipelines into weapons. He saw the hellish fields of flaming towers under banks of inky clouds. He inhaled the gritty, acrid air. He walked the beaches black and sodden with petroleum, heard the heavy plopping of the greasy surf, watched the doomed shorebirds floundering toward their deaths. He helps us feel the soldiers' fears of what might have been happening to their bodies."Wheelwright, Jeff is the author of 'Irritable Heart The Medical Mystery of the Gulf War' with ISBN 9780393019568 and ISBN 039301956X.
