Iraqi Propaganda and Disinformation During the Gulf War: Lessons for the Future

نبذة عن كتاب Iraqi Propaganda and Disinformation During the Gulf War: Lessons for the Future

This monograph examines Iraqi disinformation and propaganda from Iraqi’s invasion of Kuwait in August 1990 through the end of the Gulf War in February 1991. Although these events occurred at the beginning of the 1990s, they remain relevant because the fundamental nature of the Iraqi regime has not changed, and renewed confrontation or conflict remain ever-present possibilities.
It is especially instructive to examine Iraq’s policies during this time. The harsh glare of war throws the actions of states as well as individuals into stark relief. War demands an all-out effort that sweeps away niceties and illuminates what may have previously remained hidden. Policies, practices and people reveal themselves in extremis.
