source material has been researched and translated, and many unique
items which been in private collections since 1945 are pictured here
for the first time. This is a must for any serious Third Reich
collector.

Each stage in the
Gulf War, the liberation by American-led UN forces of
Iraqi-occupied Kuwait in 1990-91, is vividly described in this
photographic history. Over 180 photographs provide a remarkable
visual account of Operation Desert Storm in the air, at sea and
on land, and they show the vast array of military equipment
deployed by both sides. Concise text relates the key events in
the short, intense conflict – the preliminary air campaign, the
elimination of the Iraqi navy, the coalition's ground offensive,
the tank battles in which American Abrams and British
Challengers engaged Soviet-designed T-72 and T-62s, the Iraqi
retreat, death and destruction at the Muttla Pass, and the
liberation of Kuwait City.
