You should check out the book Desert Warrior by the Saudi general Khaled bin Sultan if you're interested in this stuff. He and Schwarzkopf were both the equal-ranked Joint Forces Commander during Desert Storm, with Schwarzkopf having responsibility over Western armies and bin Sultan being responsible for keeping the Arab armies working well together.

An interesting tidbit from this conflict is that Israel purposefully played no military role, so that the other Arab states would not get upset fighting allied with Israel against another Arab state. This is of course why Saddam Hussein fired a bunch of scuds at Israeli cities, to try to goad them into entering the war and try to cause the truly miraculous alliance of Western and Arab states to fragment. It didn't work for Saddam in the end.
