TOMMY FRANKS (United States, 2002)

The United States’s military operations in the Middle East, Central Asia and the east coast of Africa are directed from the US Central Command in Tampa, Florida. The attack on the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001 and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s regime in 2003 were among the operations coordinated from there. Both actions were led by Tommy Franks, at that time the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Command. In his series bearing Franks’s name, Christopher Morris captured the everyday course of events for Franks and his command centre.
