A collection of images of the human consequence of war. These photographs were taken along "'the mile of death' [a road north of Kuwait City] the morning the day the war stopped."

The appendices includes the Patriot Air Defense System, U.S. equipment, and Iraqi equipment, tables, charts, maps, and illustrations. http://www.history.army.mil/books/www/wwindx.htm Topics: History, United States History, Wars & Conflicts Last updated Mar 29, 2008 |
