Encyclopedia of the Persian Gulf War
by Mark Grossman
Hardcover: 522 pages
Publisher: ABC-Clio Inc (December 1, 1995)
ISBN: 0874366844
Описание:
Grossman, the author of ABC-Clio companions to the civil rights and environmental movements, has compiled a useful encyclopedia, replete with biographies of major figures, a good selection of statistics, relevant documents, military slang, and a glossary of Arabic words. Weapons and weapon systems receive careful attention, accounting for a major share of the alphabetical entries. The biographies of Middle East leaders and background on their political parties and nations are helpful. Maps and hundreds of black-and-white photographs add value to the text. Most entries include a brief bibliography; these are gathered together in a major bibliography with a separate section for official U.S. publications. An appendix includes reprints of statements issued by the U.N., speeches by President Bush and Saddam Hussein, as well as interviews, testimony, and letters. These documents could serve as teaching aids in the use of primary-source materials.
Users will be disappointed not to find an extended essay-length discussion of the air, sea, and land war or of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Grossman's attitude toward the war is presented in an introductory statement: "the United States went to war to smash the death machine that this country and its Western allies had helped Saddam assemble in the first place." Again, various points of view could be handled better in essay-length discussions contained in the body of the work. Persian Gulf War Almanac [RBB My 1 95] does have lengthy topical essays, but it lacks the more than 100 pages of documents found in this new encyclopedia.
