William Stroock, although not
a former servicemember, “lives in northern New Jersey with his wife, Jenica and their daughter, Meriam. He writes for
several magazines including Strategy & Tactics, World at War, History, Military Heritage, and Renaissance. In his spare
time Will is a gym rat and an avid guitar player.” William Stroock is the author of A Line through the Desert:
The First Gulf War.
According to the book description of A Line through the Desert: The
First Gulf War, “What’s it like to lose the girl you love? What’s it like to lose your
best friend? What’s it like to shoot a Uranium Depleted Sabot shell through an Iraqi tank? Sgt Jake Bloom of the 2nd
Armored Cavalry Regiment finds out in the First Gulf War. He fights for his life and the lives of his men in the desert, and
for his faith and first love at home. Begun in March 2003 as the Second Gulf War Began, a Line in the Desert
was meticulously researched, with correspondence exchanged and interviews conducted with more than 30 officers and men of
the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. The reader is shown a cavalry trooper's life in Germany, the long wait in the desert for
the war to begin, and finally the terror of war during the 100 hours in Iraq.”
