Synopsis

SADDAM HUSSEIN AND THE CRISIS IN THE GULF

On August 2, 1990, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, plunging the world into its most severe

crisis since the end of the Cold War. Today, after the swift introduction into the Middle East of

a multinational force, led by more than 100,000 U.S. troops in the largest American military

action since Vietnam, people everywhere seek a deeper understanding of the roots of the

conflict. This book offers the reader a thorough examination of the rise of Saddam Hussein, his

conversion of Iraq into one of the world's more Orwellian states, the reason for his invasion of

Kuwait and the considerable threat he poses for the stability of the Middle East. Revealing

little-known facts about the personality and life of Saddam Hussein, the authors set the crisis

against the backdrop of Arab political culture, imperial rivalry, and messianic ambition. This is

an authoritative and incisive primer on the man and the nation at the center of the

confrontation in the Persian Gulf.
