L'adversaire

Summary On 2 August 1990, believing himself to be untouchable, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. A decision that would have devastating consequences for his regime. This attack triggered the Gulf War (until Operation Desert Storm, in January-February 1991), during which Iraq will experience the disproportionate firepower of the Americans: 100,000 soldiers and 60,000 civilians will lose their lives. To this hecatomb will be added the hundreds of thousands of victims who died of malnutrition as a result of the effects of the twelve-year embargo imposed after the war. But Washington's new arch-enemy, Saddam, is holding firm.
