Between January 17 and February 28, 1991, an international military
coalition sanctioned by the United Nations and led by the United
States defeated a large, well-equipped Iraqi army and forced it to
withdraw from occupied Kuwait, in what is now known as the Persian
Gulf War. As the first major military action after the end of the
Cold War, many view the Gulf War as the precursor of a new military
doctrine for conflicts in the 21st century; ground troops from 19
countries around the globe participated in the operation,
reflecting the ever-changing environment in post - Cold War
politics.From Al Firdos Bunker, a hardened bunker that U.S.
intelligence believed was the Iraqi Internal Security Directorate,
to Lieutenant General John Yeosock, commander of the U.S. 3rd Army
in the Gulf War, this is a comprehensive reference work to the
people, places, events, weapons, operations, and other matters in
the Persian Gulf War. A chronology is also provided, covering the
major events from 1958 through 1991 that led to the rise of Iraqi
leader Saddam Hussein, his invasion of Kuwait, and the rousting of
Iraqi forces from that country.
