The Iran-Iraq War - (Razoux Pierre)

Harvard University Press 2015 Harvard University Press 688 Razoux, Pierre Hardback

From 1980 to 1988 Iran and Iraq fought the longest conventional war of the century. It included tragic slaughter of child soldiers, use of chemical weapons, striking of civilian shipping, and destruction of cities. Pierre Razoux offers an unflinching look at a conflict seared into the region's collective memory but little understood in the West.
