Presents unique insights from key player in first Gulf War, who
continues to have an extremely high profile. There is renewed
interest in diplomacy of first Gulf War in wake of current Iraq
crisis. As Iraqi troops surged into Kuwait in 1990, British
Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Alan Munro played a vital role in both
forging and maintaining a formidable coalition to evict them. Never
before had Western and Arab states fought side by side against
another Arab country. He reveals here all the behind-the-scenes
manouevring that made this possible. He recalls with verve and
candour the frantic phone calls, the diplomatic interplay, the
confusion of the battlefield, and the difficulties of dealing with
the international media. Munro surrounds his revelations with a
thoughtful and informed analysis of the international politics of
the Middle East. With Western armies once more deployed in the
Gulf, this new updated paperback edition of Munro's book provides a
timely reminder of the pressures, pitfalls and potential of
international diplomacy in the region.
