This book tells the story of the invasion and the events which unfolded during the next seven months ending in the rout of the Iraqi army on a road in northern Kuwait. This is not a book about military hardware and might - though this is an important part of the story - it is a book about people, many of them innocent victims of circumstance, and how all of them together liberated Kuwait only months later. Illustrated with well over 150 photographs - many exclusive to the book - and specially commissioned illustrations - each section is self contained. Information boxes and panels explain such facets as oil and ecology, weapons, strategy on land, sea and in the air. Illustrated. Illustrated laminated boards.
