Description
Since the Iraqi invasion of Iran, the strategically important oil-producing region ot the Persian Gulf has become one of the world's major crisis centres. Edgar O'Ballance <1918-2009> draws upon his breadth of experience as an expert in Middle East affairs to present a definitive study of all major aspects of the Gulf War from 1980 right up to the recent escalation of the conflict in 1987. He discusses military and tactical issues arising from Iraq's technical superiority and Iran's numerical dominance: city bombings, tanker warfare, human wave attacks, battles involving up to half-a-million men. Wider analysis of the combatant forces and the role of the superpowers makes vital reading for anyone requiring a comprehensive and detailed background to current events in international politics and modern warfare. BACK COVER BLURB: all.
