. This book is an elaboration of testimony which the author presented to the House Armed Services Committee on December 13, 1990. From the Introduction: "The purpose of THIS book is not to forecast the outcome of the conflict which looms over the Persian Gulf region as this book is being written (1990). Rather it is to acquaint those who might be interested i n the kinds of considerations with which those commanders and staffs must be concerned in the planning process. .If war does come, it surely will not take the form of any of the various options or of any of the scenarios related to those options, which are presented in thsi book. On the basis of OUR military knowledge and experience, as well as our extensive knowledge of RELEVANT military history , the authors are confident that there will be considerable similarity between the actual events, should conflict occur, and the possibilities suggested in THIS book! .165 pages give background of the Gulf Crisis; Peace or War? The Strategic Options; Jordanian Diversion; The Decision; After the War is Over; Chronology: Iraq and the Gulf Region, 1514-1991. There is so much more. A very worthwhile read.
