In the tradition of referring to Vietnam as Johnson's war or Nixon's war, Smith, who questions whether the Gulf War was necessary, places the responsibility for Desert Storm on Bush. Expressing constant misgivings about presidential warmaking, he provides a virtual day-by-day chronicle of the decisions of 1990 that led to war. Unlike Stephen R.

The hands-on appeal that this book is also a puzzle makes it much more desirable.
My preschool aged son adores this book. This book is an accumalation
