The A to Z of the Persian Gulf War 1990 - 1991
ISBN: 9780810855014 / Angielski / Miękka / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contrary to many assessments that immediately followed the end of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, that war was neither short nor decisive. The 1991 conflict was the dramatic manifestation of long-standing antagonisms among the principal participants, and its results continue to have a profound effect on the region, a fact that can be seen most clearly in the current U.S.-occupation of Iraq. It is therefore important to determine, on the diplomatic side, just how the war got started, how it was fought, and whether the dramatic ground campaign should have exceeded the mere hundred hours it lasted in...

Baghdad Diaries: A Woman's Chronicle of War and Exile
ISBN: 9781400075256 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this often moving, sometimes wry account of life in Baghdad during the first war on Iraq and in exile in the years following, Iraqi-born, British-educated artist Nuha al-Radi shows us the effects of war on ordinary people. She recounts the day-to-day realities of living in a city under siege, where food has to be consumed or thrown out because there is no way to preserve it, where eventually people cannot sleep until the nightly bombing commences, where packs of stray dogs roam the streets (and provide her own dog Salvi with a harem) and rats invade homes. Through it all, al-Radi works at...

Eyes Over Mogadishu
ISBN: 9781413413557 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The goal of the book is to educate those who would like to know what Somalia was to those who served there. Most of the veterans of operations there have quietly moved on with their lives after receiving little recognition for their service, while most in the general public only remember the negative aspects of what happened on a single day, 3 October 1993, forgetting the courage shown on that day, and the service of those who came before and after. Eyes Over Mogadishu brings the reader through the whole experience, from preparing for movement, deploying to Mogadishu, and then the return home.
