The Iraqi
Invasion of Kuwait:
An Eyewitness
Account
Desert-Storm.com is proud to offer this item
to our visitors. It is a USAWC Experience Monograph created by LTC
Fred L. Hart, Jr.
This personal experience monograph (PEM) is
based on the author's personal experience, first hand knowledge, and witnessing
of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on 2 August 1990. Assigned to Kuwait as
an advisor to the Kuwaiti Land Forces on 1 August 1989, the author was
involved in the events leading up, during, and after the invasion by Iraqi
forces. This PEM provides an historical account of the experiences and
actions taken by the United States Liaison Office Kuwait (USLOK), which
was based out the American Embassy Kuwait. It also documents our beleaguered
status in Kuwait and Baghdad, Iraq, from August 1990 to 10 December 1990.
This particular item is a must-read, if you
would like to get an inside account of the invasion from a first-person
perspective. It is a 56 page document, so it is not reproduced on
this site, but is avaiable for download for viewing in your word processsor.
