Gulf War Reader: History, Documents, Opinions

The Gulf War Reader is a good place to start for anyone unfamiliar with the conflict. You'll get a basic overview of the issues surrounding the war from a variety of ideological dispositions. The book does seem tilted towards more liberal interpretations of the war, but the bias of each contributor is on the whole easy to determine. While the book is full of contributions from many different perspectives, most pieces are relatively short. This makes for an easy and quick read, but by the end of the book it's easy to find yourself wanting a more in-depth treatment of the issues surrounding the war. That being said, if you have no prior background on the war, pick this book up and then move on to some of the major books like Gordon & Trainor, Hiro, and Khadduri

I am writing a term paper on the Gulf War and even though you can have up to 5 sources this is basically the only book I need! It has everything I need to know! If you are doing research like myself, I suggest you check it out!
