Title: Retrospective on the Gulf
Subtitle: The Questions of War
Narrator: Neal Conan, Deborah Amos, Ted Clark, Anne Garrels

Length: 58 mins
Language: English
Release date: 10-01-09
Publisher: Phoenix Books
Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes
Genres: History, Military
Publisher's Summary:
It was phenomenally successful in the air, breathtakingly decisive on the ground - and suddenly the war in the Persian Gulf was over, with an overwhelming victory for the allied forces. But what really happened? Why did the air war work so well? Why did the massive allied casualties many predicted for the ground phase never materialize? Why was it all so easy, when American intelligence had said it would be so hard? And what was the impact of using a war plan devised to fight the Warsaw Pact against a third world country? On this thought provoking recording, some of NPR's top reporters - Neal Conan, Deborah Amos, Ted Clark and Anne Garrels - examine these and other questions from the Gulf War.

Useful history for those who weren't there
A useful review of the many aspects, now fading, of the "First Gulf War". Good synopsis of how it occurred and the angst of the population at the time when wars in the MidEast seemed rare to the west & the US.
