Synopsis

Nothing has dominated the headlines and news bulletins to rival the impending war with Iraq. As politicians anticipate and pave the way for military action, readers are constantly reminded of the horrors that could be perpetrated by Saddam Hussain's weapons of mass destruction (WMD). As thousands of servicemen and women prepare to be come engaged in a war to rid Iraq of such weapons (and despotic leadership), it is vital that readers are made aware of the military strengths and weaknesses of both sides. Even though Saddam's forces would be fighting on home territory, militarily, technologically, strategically, and tactically the United States (supported by the UK and other countries) has overwhelming superiority. Nevertheless, there remains a very real threat of Iraq unleashing the dread of chemical and biological weaponry. This book objectively analyzes the forces and the weaponry of both Iraq, still vengefully licking their wounds after the Gulf War, and the mighty United States and allies. Highly detailed, well illustrated, and cogently written, this book is an essential reference work.From the Bowling Green Kentucky Daily News:"For those who are truly interested in understanding the weapons and the tactics of the modern battlefield, "Conflict Iraq" is invaluable.""Encyclopedic in detail, but easy to understand, the book provides an excellent guide for the reader.""Interspersed through the book are excellent maps showing everything from the suspected weapons sites to the location of Saddam Hussein's palaces.""Designed as a reference guide with an excellent index, "Conflict Iraq" would be very useful for anyone interested in following the current crisis in the Middle East."
