From Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and the build-up of Operation Desert Shield to the opening nights of Operation Desert Storm, this book explains how coalition air forces used stealth aircraft, precision-guided weapons, cruise missiles, electronic warfare, AWACS, tankers, carrier aviation, bombers, attack aircraft, and vast logistics networks to shape the battlefield before the ground offensive began.
Written in plain English for general readers, aviation enthusiasts, military-history readers, and students, the book looks beyond the famous images of "smart bombs" and night skies over Baghdad. It explains the aircraft and systems involved, the Iraqi air force and air-defence network, the Scud campaign, the fight for air superiority, close air support, strategic bombing, media coverage, civilian harm, and the moral complexity behind the technology.
This is not a celebration of war, nor a technical manual. It is a balanced account of how the Gulf War revealed the possibilities, limits, and human consequences of modern air power.
