Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 2005. 462pp/maps. This study covers operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom and all the smaller operations in between. The result is a detailed military narrative of America's struggle against Iraq's Baathists between 1990 and 2005. This unique perspective sets the scene for a new and constructive critique of U.S. military power and the asymmetric resistance capabilities of U.S. adversaries at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Threading together the political-military and military-technical aspects of the struggle, Michael Knights traces the evolution of the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's regime and identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the military approaches used by the United States to contain and finally roll back the threat.A recognized authority on U.S. military operations in the Persian Gulf, the author was given insider access to American military and political decision makers who had hands-on experience of operations in Iraq. Clean. First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book Club Ed., Naval Institute Press, 2005, 5, " The surrender of Singapore on February 15, 1942, was the greatest and most humiliating defeat in British history and the high-point of Japanese expansion in Southeast Asia. It graphically exposed the military weakness of the British Empire and its inability to defend its Far Eastern colonies. Based on original records, "Singapore, 1942" shows what went wrong and how an outnumbered and poorly equipped Japanese invasion force swept to victory against a mixed army of British, Australian, and Indian soldiers, changing Britain' s imperial destiny and the course of World War II.", Hambledon & London, 2003, 6<
