Description and Table of Contents
Description
The Persian Gulf War was the first war that the United States officially involved itself in as a combatant after Vietnam. It was a war in which many new technological, strategic, political, and economic elements came together for the first time, making the war a particularly unique experience for American soldiers and those at home. Not only was the United States involved, but so were many other countries of diverse political and social backgrounds, all working together under the aegis of the Coalition. The United States played a key, leading role in funding, organizing, building, and maintaining the partnerships of the Coalition that made the war against Iraq so startlingly successful in many people's eyes. Persian Gulf War is an important new volume in the American at War series. It brings the series coverage into the 1990s, and it shows how the war has affected policies and attitudes toward military involvement in foreign countries in every echelon of American society. Perhaps equally important is that this volume engages the reader to consider what war means today, in post-cold war modern American society.
Persian Gulf War is a great reference for students, teachers, war historians, war history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in modern U.S. history.
