Students need the information in this timely new book. Military historian Jason Richie clearly covers the conflict in Iraq and gives young readers the background on Saddam Hussein and Iraq necessary to understand it. In a readable, reasonable manner, Richie discusses the history of Iraq after World War I, Saddam’s rise to power, the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, the Persian Gulf War, the weapons inspections and sanctions against Iraq during the 1990s, as well as Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Author Jason Richie is a U.S. Army veteran and historian who has written a number of books for The Oliver Press, including Weapons: Designing the Tools of War, and two In the Cabinet titles, Secretaries of State: Making Foreign Policy and Secretaries of War, Navy, and Defense: Ensuring National Security. He lives in Houston, Texas, with his wife and son.
