About this product
Product Information
The bloody eight-year Iran-Iraq war is now almost forgotten, overshadowed by the subsequent Gulf War and Iraq War. However, it is best remembered for the unique so-called 'Tanker War' which threatened to strangle the world's oil supplies. At the time Tucker-Jones as a defence analyst wrote extensively on the war and now brings his expertise to bear with this account of a conflict fuelled by festering regional rivalries, the Cold War and the emerging threat posed by militant Shia Islam. Fought on land, at sea and in the air using some of the most modern weapons money could buy, Western-backed Saddam Hussein's Sunni Iraq and Shia Iran under the ayatollahs fought themselves to a standstill. Once Saddam's armoured blitzkrieg had been halted and Iran's human-wave counterattacks fought off, it became a war of attrition with major battles fought for the possession of Khorramshahr and Basra. Both sides resorted to chemical weapons and bombarding each other with missiles. When the war spilled over into the waters of the Gulf it sparked open Western intervention. Escalating attacks on oil tankers finally culminated in a ceasefire. AUTHOR: Anthony Tucker-Jones is a former defence intelligence officer and a widely published expert on regional conflicts, counter-terrorism and armoured and aerial warfare. He is the author of over thirty books including The Vietnam War: The Tet Offensive 1968, The Gulf War: Operation Desert Storm 1990 1991, The Afghan War: Operation Enduring Freedom 2001 2014 and The Iraq War: Operation Iraqi Freedom 2003 2011. He is security and terrorism correspondent for intersec The Journal of International Security. Anthony writes extensively for several Pen & Sword military history series including 'Cold War 1945 1991' and 'A History of Terror'. 20 colour, 60 b/w illustrations

Delivery took almost 2 weeks and I'm really sad that after paying almost £30 for one book, it arrived damaged (book jacket torn and the hardcover is all bashed). I'd have expected it to be packaged with more care than a padded envelope. Very disappointed.
