About the Author:
Lawrence Freedman is Professor of War Studies at King's College, London. Efraim Karsh, Director of the Mediterranean Studies Program at King's College, is a well-known writer on Middle Eastern and Soviet affairs and a leading authority on the Iran-Iraq War.
From Library Journal:
This book, written by two scholars who teach in the War Studies Department at King's College in London (Karsh is coauthor of Saddam Hussein: A Political Biography , LJ 5/15/91), is one of the most comprehensive and analytical books published in the English language on the Gulf crisis of 1990-91. The authors rely on an impressive array of sources to give us a fairly objective account of the genesis and the development of the Gulf conflict. Their book goes beyond simply describing the Gulf War and offers insight into the role of military force and diplomacy in the "New World Order." One weakness, however, is the failure to decribe the devastating impact of this conflict on the peoples, economies, and environment of the region. Despite this shortcoming, this book is a valuable resource on the Gulf conflict for Middle Eastern specialists as well as other informed readers.
