Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait : American Reflections

Saddam Hussein's decision to invade the State of Kuwait in the early morning hours of Aug. 2, 1990 found the 100s of Americans residing in the country as astounded & unprepared for such an onslaught as their Kuwaiti hosts. The remembrances included here have not been gathered with any specific criteria in mind other than that they be those of Americans who experienced the Iraqi invasion. These 15 contributions serve as testimonials to the tragedy suffered by Kuwait at the hands of the invaders & also reveal something of the courage & resilience of Americans. Includes extracts from the U.S. Army report on the nature of the Iraqi occupation with color photos & maps illustrating the character of the Iraqi occupation.Stevens, Richard P. is the author of 'Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait : American Reflections', published 2003 under ISBN 9780756735913 and ISBN 0756735912.
