For most Americans, the war against Iraq lingers in memory as a vast morality play, a drama offering ready-made heroes and villians: a glowering dictator in military uniform, hapless Kuwaiti refugees with tales of persecution, plucky pilots with high-tech wizardry, and a defiant American president, ringing Churchillian as he drew a line in the sand. But this characterization of the war is greatly oversimplified, a one-dimensional portrait, lacking in context and nuance. in War in the Gulf, 1990-91, Majid Khadduri and Demund Ghareeb paints a very different picture- one that brings historical depth to the portrait, and displays the actions of many of the participants in a new and revealing light.

Recensioner i media

"Some historical events are so momentous that in the rush to judgement only a one-sided perspective emerges about their origin and causes. Such was the case in Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait and the subsequent Gulf War of 1991. With time, hopefully, some dare to soul search. That has happened with The War in the Gulf, a sobering and analytical retrospective that cuts through conventional cliches. Such quests are critical not merely to imbue the historical record with greater perspective, but also to see with greater clarity the road upon which those events have caused us to embark."--Christine Helms

"This book offers a sympathetic and balanced analysis of the origins of the war which deserves to be read by policymakers and the media, for it underscores the very different perceptions brought to the situation by the Islamic world and the West."--The Estimate
