Summary
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the 1990-1991 Gulf War, examining both the diplomatic efforts and military operations that followed Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Freedman explores the international coalition's response, the decision-making processes of key political and military leaders, and the conduct of Operation Desert Storm. The work places the conflict within the broader context of the post-Cold War era, analyzing how it shaped the emerging "new world order" and established precedents for international intervention and multilateral military action in the 1990s.
