In the morning darkness of December 20, 1989, with precision timing and deadly high-tech weapons, U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine forces attacked Panamanian soldiers commanded by dictator Manuel Noriega. Within hours most military objectives were achieved - and with minimal American casualties. Operation Just Cause was an overwhelming lightning strike that in many ways presaged the joint-forces blitz of Operation Desert Storm a little over a year later. Retired Army general Edward M. Flanagan, Jr., had unequaled access to Just Cause's key planners and to official after-action reports. His sixth book, Battle for Panama contains exciting tales of fierce combat, as told by the troops themselves. Its foreword is by Gen. Maxwell R. Thurman, USA (Ret.), who headed the U.S. Southern Command during the battle, and it has been selected by the Association of the U.S. Army for its distinguished AUSA Book Series.
