In the decade following the first Gulf War, most observers regarded
it as an exemplary effort by the international community to
lawfully and forcefully hold a regional aggressor in check.
Interpretations have changed with the times. The Gulf War led to
the stationing of US troops in Saudi Arabia, an important
contributing cause of the 9/11 attacks. The war also led to a long
obsession with Saddam Hussein that culminated in a second, far
longer, American-led war with Iraq. In Into the Desert, Jeffrey
Engel has gathered an all-star cast of contributors to reevaluate
the first Gulf War: Michael Gordon of the New York Times; Sir
Lawrence Freedman, former foreign policy advisor to Tony Blair;
Ambassador Ryan Crocker; Middle East specialist Shibley Telhami;
and Richard Haass, President of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Engel and his contributors examine the war's origins, the war
itself, and its long-term impact on international relations. All
told, Into the Desert offers an astute reassessment of one of the
most momentous events in the last quarter century.
