Thoroughly Modern History with Robb Coles

The Lockwood Family in Kuwait


Listen Later

 

For Season One: we take a trip back to 1990, to the first Gulf War and Desert Storm. We follow the frightening and unlikely tale of a British family and many others, who were working or vacationing in the middle east at the time of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, and how these unlikely westerners became an official part of Saddam Hussein's military strategy.

Join Host, Producer, and Modern History Enthusiast Robb Coles to revisit and walk through the big news stories that were breaking in the background of millennial childhood.
