Hi all,

Apologies first of for my lack of input over the last few months... I started a new job and everything else has been made secondary! But things are now slowing down a bit...

So...

Can anyone point me to good websites or books that cover the miltary side of the Iran-Iraq War?

I have plenty on the political side but would like to more on the actual fighting and miltary conduct of the war.

Any help would be appreciated as most sites I have found seem to be of dubious value given the present troubles in the region.

Any help is very welcome... I only have a few weeks to do some serious reading till my wife drops another upheavel on us...

Our first baby!

You could start with

http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita.../iran-iraq.htm

And then a couple of books:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Iran-Iraq-Wa...8619822&sr=8-1

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Longest-War-...619928&sr=1-10
(ironically this book's reviewer criticised for being to military!)

Sorry can´t help with the sources but Congratulations ( and no Conga rats this time...?? ) !!!!!
