Armoured Vehicles of the First Gulf War

By Finlay Reynolds
Paperback
In 1990, Saddam Hussein’s forces invaded Kuwait in an unprovoked attack. He was motivated by Kuwait’s wealth, seeing it as a way to fulfil Iraq’s obligation to repay debts owed to its neighbours. In fear that that this may be the beginning of expansionist plans, Arab states called on the United Nations to repel the attack. Operation Desert Storm brought together a coalition of more than 40 nations demanding Iraq’s withdrawal from Kuwait.
The ensuing operation to remove Iraqi forces played out across the region, with tanks and armoured vehicles the mainstay of land-based operations. Included in this volume is a review of every vehicle that played a role, such as the main battle tanks operated by the key players and supporting frontline vehicles. Incredible colour photographs depict the vehicles in action.
The Gulf War (1990-91) was an armed conflict between Iraq and a 42-country coalition led by the United States. It featured now-infamous missions such as Operation Desert Sheild and Operation Desert Storm and marked the introduction of live news broadcasts from the front lines of battle, primarily by the network CNN. It also gained notoriety for including three of the largest tank battles in American military history. Illustrated with over 230 images, this book covers the various armoured vehicles that were used by different nations during this conflict.
