Sommario/riassunto |
|
In 'Into the Desert', Jeffrey Engel has gathered an all-star cast of contributors to write about and reflect on the first Gulf War. Considering the Gulf War's broader historical ramifications, Engel and his contributors focus of four central themes: the war's origins, the war itself, and its immediate and long-term aftermaths. |
