War in the Gulf, 1990-91: The Iraq-Kuwait Conflict and its Implications

Unlike other works on the Gulf war, this highly informative book discusses unresolved disputes between Iraq & Kuwait in their historical contexts, focusing on Iraq s economic & strategic requirements as well as its views & grievances before the invasion of Kuwait. Offers a far more accurate & complex portrait of the conflict, providing a wealth of background information not readily available before. It explains the frame of mind of the participants as no one has done before & causes us to examine anew such questions as who was responsible for the conflict, & what might have happened if the U.S. had not intervened so rapidly.
