Tanker Wars - The Assault on Merchant Shipping During the Iran-Iraq Crisis, 1980-1988 (Hardcover)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days
|
During the Iran-Iraq war, hundreds of merchant vessels were
attacked, more than 400 seamen killed and millions of dollars'
worth of damages were suffered by owners, charterers and insurers.
In the most sustained assault on merchant shipping since the Second
World War, the control of shipping routes, destruction of enemy and
enemy-allied ships, and the protection of oil exports, were key
objectives.
These campaigns touched the economic and security interests of the
Gulf states by threatening their exports and highlighting their
political and military vulnerability. The ripples of the tanker
wars extended well beyond the region with attacks on vessels with
foreign flags which invoked international concern and drew in
foreign naval forces.
