The Iran-Iraq War
Author(s): Pierre Razoux
From 1980 to 1988 Iran and Iraq fought the longest war of the century. It included the tragic slaughter of child soldiers, the use of chemical weapons, the striking of civilian shipping, and the destruction of cities. Pierre Razoux offers an unflinching look at a conflict seared into the region's collective memory but little understood in the West.

Razoux has produced the best book available on this important war.--Jeremy Black"Military History" (03/01/2016)"
