The Iran-Iraq War is one of the largest, yet least documented
conflicts in the history of the Middle East. Drawing from an
extensive cache of captured Iraqi government records, this book is
the first comprehensive military and strategic account of the war
through the lens of the Iraqi regime and its senior military
commanders. It explores the rationale and decision-making processes
that drove the Iraqis as they grappled with challenges that, at
times, threatened their existence. Beginning with the bizarre lack
of planning by the Iraqis in their invasion of Iran, the authors
reveal Saddam's desperate attempts to improve the competence of an
officer corps that he had purged to safeguard its loyalty to his
tyranny, and then to weather the storm of suicidal attacks by
Iranian religious revolutionaries. This is a unique and important
contribution to our understanding of the history of war and the
contemporary Middle East.
