Review
"Hiro's work, clearly written and balanced, illustrated with photographs that portray the war in all its horror, is the best book on the subject so far."
From the reviews of the British edition:
-Patrick Seale, "The Observer
"Outstandingly objective . . . an object lesson in how an acocmplished journalist can and should reconstruct events of world-wide importance."
-Justin Wintle, "The Independent
"Authoritative . . . Hiro's exacting, analytical approach is especially appropriate for a war which has never been quite what it seems."
-Amanda Mitchison, "New Statesman and Society
"Pakistani journalist Dilip Hiro takes us well beyond images of Khomeini dart boards and Saddam voodoo dolls to reveal calculating interest groups whom the West might have manipulated more skillfully . . . . captures the human motivations behind the war."
-"Los Angeles Times
." . . with his maps and photographs, his chronology and documentary appendixes, he succeeds in chronicling with powerful detail what, to contemporary eyes, is that conflict's cruel and utter futility."
-Lisa Anderson, "New York Times Book Review

The Longest War: Iran-Iraq Military Conflict
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
