Project 19 (Crisis in the Desert Book 1)

Project 19 was the code word for the invasion of Kuwait used by the Iraqi armed forces in 1990. No one knows how close Iraq came to invading Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. They wanted their money for what they gave Saddam in his war with Iran and Saddam wanted revenge. In a world where the USSR ran a lend lease program with Iraqi, Saddam felt embolded. He convinced almost the world that he was bringing Kuwait the 19^th province of Iraq back into the fold. With an oil war going on, the Soviets tossed their hat into the ring behind Iraq. If they had all the latest of equipment, the 100 hours war wouldn’t be so easily fought. It could have changed history! How would the coalition forces deploy with no ports or airfields in Saudi to launch an attack from.
