In that conflict Iraq suffered what was thought by many Western observers to have been a shattering defeat, one that could reasonably have been expected to cause Saddam Hussein's ouster and even his death. Yet, at the time of this conference (1998) the Iraqi President was still in firm control of Iraq and still capable of making serious trouble for the international community. That this should be the case seven years later forces and examination of how the Gulf War was waged and how it was brought to an end. A clean pristine copy.
