    A concise military and strategic study of the eight-year Iran–Iraq conflict that traces its origins in revolutionary upheaval and regional rivalry, follows the 1980 invasion and the transition to a costly war of attrition, analyzes major campaigns and tactics (including air power, artillery, trench warfare, and the use of chemical weapons), and assesses the political leadership, international involvement and arms flows that prolonged the fighting, the immense human and economic toll, and the broader lessons about doctrine, logistics and the limits of conventional force in modern regional wars.
