    An overview of a War run by the two most absurd armies of the 20th Century.
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2023*

How did Saddam lose to the US twice in the span of a month even though he had "modern weapons"Why hasn't Iran under the Clerics overran any of it's neighbors?This book reveals  just how much of a laughing stock Iran and Iraq were at the time. Mostly through captured Iraqi documents.It weighs out how these two nations were run by some of the biggest fools in the world.Highlights of both sides. Saddam's Generals didn't train their military divisions for years , and let most of their fighter pilots buy their way into their jobs after failing to qualify to fly.The Iranian Clerics purged most of their high command and Officer corp, they really believed that instead of using Modern Tactics, human wave attacks with untrained conscripts and prayer was their path to victory.This book will take you almost a day by day, month by month as you will witness one of the worst managed and unnecessary wars in Human History. This book is amazing for nerds who like to get into Military History.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A good view on the Iraqi perspective
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2020*

The book is about Saddam Hussein's politics not a blow by blow. It shows you a much different view of Iraq's capabilities then what the US Army had you believe. I recommend this book be read in conjunction with a good blow by blow analysis. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Well done and informative
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2015*

Clear, concise and well written. I think Cyrus in his review sums things up nicely and I'd only disagree with him on the quality of the maps that cover too large an area whereas key conflicts were centered in limited geographical areas that don't show up well on the maps; however, this conflict wasn't like WWII, a war of movement, so my gripe about the maps is rather inconsequential. A lot of research went into this book and it is assembled in a most readable fashion. As I recollect, during the eight years this war ran there was virtually no US coverage of the conflict so this book fills a large void for those interested in events in the Middle East. Verbatim transcripts of Saddam's war councils with his military leaders provides a unique insight into how he viewed himself as a leader - a most grandiose vision - and how he "justified" his various barbaric acts that included lavish use of chemical weapons. As the book covers, one of the key reasons Iraq prevailed was it had continuing access to weapons from the outside world, Iran had virtually none, and the Gulf States, mainly Kuwait, lent Iraq around a billion dollars a month to continue the conflict. At war's end Iraq was bankrupt and owed tens of billions to its backers. One theory (not propounded in the book) explaining Saddam's subsequent invasion of Kuwait was his believe there was a vast treasure trove of gold in the Kuwait central bank; allegedly the first in during the invasion were helicopter-borne troops who landed on the roof of the central bank to seize the goodies, only to find out most of the country's reserves were held in foreign banks.
