Items related to Desert Shield to Desert Storm: The Second Gulf War
In this perceptive account of the Gulf War, acclaimed writer Dilip Hiro reveals the complex political-economic motivation and diplomatic maneuvering that preceded the 42-day conflict. He argues that Saddam Hussein failed to draw the right lessons from the Iran-Iraq war and thus grievously miscalculated the international response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Containing maps, a chronology of events, extensive source-notes and all relevant Security Council resolutions, the book is a comprehensive and objective chronicle of the war and an important aid for understanding contemporary Middle Eastern affairs. Also includes 12 maps.
