Overview
In a dramatic three-week campaign beginning on March 20, 2003, U.S. and British forces (with those of several other countries allied in a coalition) destroyed the Iraqi army, defeating Saddam Hussein's regime. Over the coming months and years, former regime members, in addition to some armed anti-American elements from outside Iraq, began a long and bitter armed resistance. Iraq War, Revised Edition provides all the background necessary for a complete understanding of the circumstances surrounding this particular military undertaking. An important and timely resource for middle and high school readers, Iraq War, Revised Edition explores the history of the region as well as the recent events leading up to and culminating in the war.
Chelse House is proud to announce the updating and revision of its critically acclaimed America at War series.
