Inside the decisions behind the Gulf War
Michael R. Gordon’s account examines the 1991 Persian Gulf War through the military and political leadership surrounding it. Moving between the Pentagon and the White House, it portrays senior commanders and considers which parts of the war effort worked and which did not. The emphasis on decision-makers and organizational performance gives the conflict a distinctly institutional frame, connecting the conduct of the war with the people and centers of power involved in it.
