After nearly bankrupting his country, Saddam Hussein came up with a different sort of get-rich-quick scheme: invading Kuwait. By invading the small country due south, he could have rich oil fields and billions of dollars from Kuwaiti banks. Hussein's invasion spurred the response of nearly 100 countries worldwide with America leading the way, and within 100 hours, Kuwait was liberated. This book examines the war itself as well as America's role in defeating the Iraqi army.
