Hardcover. Condición: Good. "It is not the least of the Gulf War's many ironies that three years after suffering one of the most overwhelming defeats in military history Saddam Hussein should still be clinging to power, while George Bush and Margaret Thatcher, who did most to bring about the Coalition which expelled Iraqi troops from Kuwait, should have been forced into reluctant retirement. It is precisely the contrast between the decisiveness of the military victory and the apparent inconclusiveness of the war's political outcomes which forms the central subject matter of many of the works described in this bibliography. The ambivalence which surrounds perceptions of the war is well reflected in the titles of the studies which have so far been published. Thus we range from Triumph in the Desert (46) and Desert victory (57) through to Triumph without victory (108), Hollow victory (91) and George Bush vs. Saddam Hussein: military success? political failure? (70)."Ex military library stock so expect to see light wear and possible markings and annotations in the text. No Dust-jacket. Binder in good to very good condition. Boards robust.
