Description

The Iran-Iraq War was one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 20th Century, resulting in a prolonged and devastating conflict that had far-reaching consequences. This detailed military history provides a unique insight into the war, drawing on materials from both sides, as well as US Intelligence circles and British Governmental archives. The Central Front saw a series of battles between Iranian and Iraqi forces, with neither side able to achieve overwhelming superiority due to difficult terrain. The Iranians initially lost territory but gradually regained ground in 1982, while the Iraqis launched several major attacks in 1988. In northern Iraq, fighting centered around Kurdish insurgencies, culminating in the Halabcheh gas attack. The final campaign of the war saw Iraqi-backed Iranian émigrés launch a failed invasion of their homeland, bringing an end to the conflict. This book offers a comprehensive look at the Iran-Iraq War, shedding light on a complex and often overlooked period in modern history.
