Description
In 18 original essays, experts analyse the personal psychologies and public belief systems of the individuals and nations involved in the Gulf War - from George Bush and Saddam Hussein to the peoples of the United States, Israel and the Arab countries. Approaching the events of 1990-1991 from the perspectives of psychology, history, mass communications and political science, these scholars examine the dynamic relationship of events, behaviour and perceptions. Part 1 deals with the psychological and political origins of the war; part 2 focuses on George Bush, Saddam Hussein and the nature of their leadership and judgement; part 3 discusses the battle for public perceptions and beliefs waged by both sides; part 4 analyses the results of that battle as revealed by the understanding of the US, Israeli and Arab publics; and part 5 deals with the war's consequences.
