Publisher's Synopsis
The crisis in the Gulf was born from the territorial ambitions of one man and the powder keg politics of the Middle East. It ended with Saddam Hussein's defeat, the destruction of his armies and his country in turmoil. Never has there been a war like this one, with the full and lethal arsenal of high-tech weaponry in action for the first time. This book is aimed at military enthusiasts and participants in the conflict - and to the millions who were gripped by coverage in the press and on TV. John Witherow, Foreign Editor of "The Sunday Times", and Aidan Sullivan, the Picture Editor, have written and compiled this pictorial history.
