The Gulf War, 1990-91, Hardback Book

The Gulf War, 1990-91 Hardback

Part of the Twentieth Century Wars series

Hardback

Description

In August 1990, Saddam Hussein's Iraqi forces boldly invaded and occupied neighboring Kuwait.

It was a move that shocked the world and threatened the interests of those countries, such as the USA and the nations of Europe, dependent on oil from the Middle East.

The ensuing Gulf War signaled, for many, a new dawn in warfare: one based upon lethal technology, low casualties, and quick decisive victory. Incorporating the latest scholarship, William Thomas Allison provides a concise overview of the origins, key events and legacy of the first Gulf War, as well as the major issues and debates.

Allison also examines the relevance of this war to other twentieth-century conflicts and the ongoing situation in the region.
