Amer War Lib: The War Against Iraq

This book is part of the American War Library's Persian Gulf War series. This book is about the 1990-91 US-Iraq Persian Gulf War. The book begins with a history of the Middle East, includes background information on the Vietnam War (very much in the minds of the American public before the Persian Gulf War), the various leaders involved, weapons used, the tactics of the war itself, and finally a chapter on the aftermath of the war.This book seriously impressed me with the amount of information that it could fit into such a small package. This book tries to include all relevant information on the war, and it succeeds brilliantly. Coupled with the many black and white pictures used, this is an excellent resource on the war. It is short and succinct, containing anything the student needs to know about the war. I recommend this book for children AND for adults!
