| Iraq War : The History Behind
the Conflict - The Untold Story |

The book is extensively documented
to show how the US in 1991 virtually trapped Iraq into
a war with Kuwait, once a part of Iraq, so that the
Western power could intervene in a local conflict and
safeguard its three overriding interests – keep
the oilfields under its control, ensure safety of Israel
and never allow Pan Arabic solidarity to grow. For those
who do not know from earlier accounts, Jurgen’s
documentation will help estimate the scale of tragedy
in Iraq in the Gulf War. “The tonnage of ordinance
expended over Iraq in the span of 12 days exceeded the
total capacity of bombs dropped in Germany throughout
World War II”.
In the American operation to free Kuwait, about 1.5
lakh Iraqis died. |
