DescriptionFrom 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. ReviewsThis is an impressive, well-researched account of a conflict that helped define the modern Middle East, and it explains, as Razoux shows, much subsequent Iraqi and Iranian history Razoux brilliantly links the conflict to the regional and Great Power politics of the period Thus the Iran Iraq war led directly into post Cold War geopolitics and conflict. Razoux has produced the best book available on this important war.--Jeremy Black"Military History" (03/01/2016)" |
