The Iran-Iraq War (2011) By Rob Johnson
 
One of the longest wars of the 20th Century this conflict would shape the legacy of the region for years to come.
 
The Iran-Iraq War was personified by the determination and ambition of the key leaders, Saddam Hussein, and Ayatollah Khomeini, and characterised by mass casualties, the repression of the civilian populations, and chemical warfare. Fought with lucrative oil money, it left the belligerents with crippling debts.

In this important reappraisal, Rob Johnson explores the major issues surrounding the war, offers a fresh analysis of the military aspects and assesses the far-reaching consequences for the wider world. It is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the ensuing conflicts in the region, including the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
