The Gulf War examines the crisis created by Iraq’s invasion and annexation of Kuwait in August 1990 and the international coalition assembled to reverse it. It follows the diplomatic confrontation, the air campaign of Operation Desert Storm and the short ground offensive that expelled Iraqi forces from Kuwait. The book also considers Saddam Hussein’s regime, the role of the United Nations, regional politics and the war’s consequences for Iraq, the Gulf and later Western intervention in the Middle East.
