Absolutely, positively, the book to read on the Iran-Iraq War. Thorough and scholarly while being easily read. The author does an amazing job of conveying the politics, war front, and home fronts of the various belligerents and "allies".

I learned a ton as well which of course is the main point. I was so impressed and interested in this conflict midway through the book that I also bought the author's wargame he made on the same subject for my wife and I to play.

Written works on this war are show more slim to none compared to other military history topics but Mr. Razoux has done a great service to those interested in this subject matter. Zero qualms calling this work the Bible of this particular conflict. show less
