Description

This detailed history consolidates official US records and coalition sources from around the world to provide information about day-to-day movements and events, units, missions, equipment and personnel during the operation. Biographies provide information whilst the glossary lists the coalition prisoners of war and service people killed in action, and provide data about coalition ground, naval and air forces, Iraqi forces and key personnel. Maps, charts and photographs clarify the text and identify key targets and bases. A bibliography and a general index further enhance this guide for researchers in military studies, international relations and world history.

If one wants to know any factual information about the Persian Gulf War of 1991, this is the reference work to consult. It is valuable for all libraries that maintain these types of reference sources on u.S. wars.- ARBA
Researchers on the war will be encouraged by the complexity of the work, taking time to consult the glossary, study maps, and read background material. Highly recommended for academic and large public libraries.- Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin
