“Millions of words have already been written about the Persian Gulf War. But only in this volume will the critical reader find a coherent analysis of the Gulf crisis at every stage of its development, from the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait on August 2, 1990, to the genocidal air and ground assault mounted by U.S. military forces in January and February 1991, and the postwar explosions in the gulf region… The Workers League approached the Persian Gulf War with implacable political hostility to American imperialism and to the White House criminals and Pentagon gangsters who orchestrated this slaughter of the Iraqi people. Genuine objectivity consists not in adopting a posture of being ‘above the battle’ but in showing the social and class forces expressed in such a crisis as the U.S. drive to war in the Persian Gulf.”
