内容説明
Twice in a decade, Iraq marched to war: in 1980, invading Iran to start an eight-year war; and in 1990, seizing Kuwait in a crisis, pitting it against America and an international coalition. These actions have brought Iraq to the centre of world attention. Asking what forces and factors set Iraq on its course, this book shows how President Saddam Hussain's decision-making and Iraq's domestic politics, economics and foreign relations combined in a volatile mix. It points to how Iran's Islamic revolution made that country appear simultaneously threatening and weak - a situation that led to Iraq invading and the start of an eight-year war. It also investigates the motives of invading Kuwait.
