Recommended for gr. 5-8. A brief look at the events leading up to the Persian Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm) in 1990-1991. Very understandable, the book includes a glossary of highlighted words in the text, an index, a timeline, further reading suggestions, and a table of contents. The book was published in 2003, which means that some of the followup in the chapter titled "Impact of the War" is incomplete, but that does not affect the explanation of the war and its causes.

I can't help but give five stars to books I wrote. Tons of work and research went into this one.
