| Note de contenu : |
In this lucid, perceptive and detailed narrative and analysis of the Second Gulf War, Dilip Hiro - author of a much-acclaimed book on the First Gulf War between Iran and Iraq - lays bare the complex political-economic motivation and diplomatic manoeuvring that preceded the 42-day conflict. He shows how, encouraged by internal discontent in Kuwait and angered by Kuwait’s attempts to undermine Iraq's economy by depressing the price of oil by flooding the international market, Saddam Hussein made a grievous miscalculation in invading Kuwait. Intent on halting the rise of America as the sole superpower in the region, he ironically ended up by enhancing Washington’s power and prestige and curtailing Iraq's independence. [...]
Containing maps, a chronology of events, extensive source-notes and all relevant Security Council resolutions, this book is a comprehensive and objective chronicle of the war as well as an invaluable aid to the understanding of contemporary history and Middle Eastern affairs. |
