    Another one of Osprey's helpful "cliff notes" for a military history topic
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2024*

Another one of Osprey's helpful "cliff notes" for a military history topic (64 pages, including illustrations and photographs).Read this as a library loan, decided to buy it here.Quibble: typo on p. 12 reads "Iraq's manpower" should probably read" Iran's manpower".

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The first Gulf war...
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2022*

From 1980 to 1988, Iran and Iraq engaged in a ferocious war of attrition over the possession of oil fields along their shared border.  The war was remarkable for the size of the armies summoned up by the regimes in Tehran and Baghdad, the horrific level of casualties, and the use of a variety of armaments, including chemical weapons.  Author Chris McNab provides a brisk overview in this Osprey Elite series book.The narrative covers the basics.  The text includes lots of period photographs and an interesting set of illustrations of uniforms and equipment.  Of note to this reviewer, only passing reference is made to the involvement of outside parties, including the United States.  Recommended as a decent summary to students of the conflict.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Book
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2022*

Book covers the basic during this war. The offensive operations and defensive operations plus the combat formations used on both side. Lots of picture and maps make this a plus.
