I have to say this is an book for someone to not have only pick up but also to read about over a dozen times as well as using it as back up for an an assignment on the Persian Gulf War. Plus, the book has helped me quite a bit to understand what had happened before Iraq invaded Kuwait on the faithful day back in August of 1990 and about the different leaders and their respective countries throughout the Arabic speaking Middle East which include leaders such as Hafiz Al Assad of Syria, King Hussein of Jordan, Saddam Hussein of Iraq, King Fahd of Saudi Arabia,Hosni Mubarak of Egypt as well as other countries such as Yemen, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and the Palestinians and Yasser Arafat and their countries respective stances on the tough but important regional issue of the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq and the Persian Gulf War taking place between two neighboring Arabic speaking countries.

However,a lot of the pictures are from training scenes.

I remember the Gulf War when I was 9. It was the first major news event I remembered after the oil spill in Alaska back in 1989.
