SADDAM HUSSEIN AND THE CRISIS IN THE GULF
On August 2, 1990, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, plunging the world into its most severe
crisis since the end of the Cold War. Today, after the swift introduction into the Middle East of
a multinational force, led by more than 100,000 U.S. troops in the largest American military
action since Vietnam, people everywhere seek a deeper understanding of the roots of the
conflict. This book offers the reader a thorough examination of the rise of Saddam Hussein, his
conversion of Iraq into one of the world's more Orwellian states, the reason for his invasion of
Kuwait and the considerable threat he poses for the stability of the Middle East. Revealing
little-known facts about the personality and life of Saddam Hussein, the authors set the crisis
against the backdrop of Arab political culture, imperial rivalry, and messianic ambition. This is
an authoritative and incisive primer on the man and the nation at the center of the
confrontation in the Persian Gulf.
