Publisher's summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Gulf War, then pay attention...

Today, it is known by many names, like the First Iraq War, Kuwait War, and, most commonly, the Gulf War or the First Gulf War. It was a rather short conflict, lasting just shy of seven months between late 1990 and early 1991. Yet, it was still rather impactful because it showcased several essential innovations and changes in political and technological aspects of warfare, some of which are still part of modern conflicts.

The Gulf War became a famous landmark in contemporary history. It signaled the break with the old ways of the 20th century and illuminated the path to our world today. For that reason, the Gulf War is still remembered and seen as an essential event in our recent past.

  • Iraqi-Kuwaiti Relations and the Prelude to the War

Account of events in the First Gulf War.

Deep and solid coverage. At times the language jars. The urge to kill and the huge numbers killed starts to know like the stats for a computer game sooner than men and women slain.

Persian Gulf War

It was an immeasurable audible. I loved the background knowledge of what and how the military action was carried.

To the point

I found this audible accurate in the fields I was close to. I purchased this audible to explore the other characters of the war that I was not immediately associated with. I experienced the straight and to the point way of the tone of the audible.

Another great history audible.

This audiobook describes the interests that many of us missed while living through the events of the Gulf War. I highly suggest listening to this audible for that reason alone.

Well researched and presented.

If you require an honest description of the first Gulf War this is your AUDIBLE. It provides not only an excellent military history of the war but a great penetration into the communications of the senior officers involved. Since I knew several of them, I had a reason to judge his views and believe he did an excellent job of telling it like it was--the great and not so good.

Great and informative audiobook. I only wish it went into more detail. This thing tells me it needs at least fifteen words.

great!

I suggest this audible to anyone who requires knowing more about what we did in Iraq in the early nineties as well as a parent to study about our modern state in Iraq. I more say it is great documentation of the policies and real-world rules of war.
