In Into the Desert, Jeffrey Engel has gathered an all-star cast of contributors to write about and reflect on the first Gulf War: Michael Gordon of the New York Times; Sir Lawrence Freedman, former foreign policy advisor to Tony Blair; Ambassador Ryan Crocker; Middle East specialist Shibley Telhami; and Richard Haass, current President of the Council on Foreign Relations. Considering the Gulf War's broader historical ramifications, Engel and his contributors focus of four central themes: the war's origins, the war itself, and its immediate and long-term aftermaths in both international relations and the Middle East region. Set to publish around the twentieth anniversary of the war, Into the Desert is an authoritative overview of one of the most momentous world historical events in the last quarter century.
