Inextricably linked to the ongoing 'War on Terror', the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan dominated more than a decade of international politics, and their influence is felt to this day. Blood, Metal and Dust is the first military history to offer a comprehensive overview of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, providing in-depth accounts of the operations undertaken by both US and UK forces. Brigadier Ben Barry explores the wars which shaped the modern Middle East, providing a detailed narrative of operations as they unfolded. With unparalleled access to official military accounts and extensive contacts in both the UK and the US militaries, Brigadier Barry is uniquely placed to tell the story of these controversial conflicts, and offers a rounded account of the international campaigns which irrevocably changed the global geopolitical landscape." 650 0 $a Insurgency $z Iraq. 650 0 $a Insurgency $z Afghanistan. 650 0 $a Military art and science $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011. 650 0 $a Afghan War, 2001- 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210922010157.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5F0D42241B6A11ECB1004F1E42ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
