The tragic events of the outcome of the bloody Gulf War, attracted the attention of the world media. For whatever reasons, the Western media succeeded in presenting the Gulf War only from an antagonistic and one-sided perspective, obviously anti-Iraqi and personally, anti-President Saddam Hussein. Over 52 distinguished scientists and field experts contributed to the writing of this book. This book is an accumulation of scientific studies targeted to assess the full scale damage done to civilian infrastructures by the Allied bombing. It sheds light on the southern region of Iraq where much of the bombing took place, and uses eyewitness reports about the strange effects of some very sophisticated weapon technology used in the Gulf War. Besides the Iraqi victims, other casualties were American, British troops and other people in the region. This book sheds light on the other side of the Gulf War story, from different "unheard" political perspectives, in order to motivate the reader to compare the outcome of these studies with other studies that the Western scientists and experts have conducted. More importantly, in this book, the outcome of the Gulf War has revealed a different face of this most sophisticated technological and computerized war against the Iraqi people. The story of the US and British who used depleted Uranium (DU), better known as "the Gulf War Syndrome and the use of DU," is being fully discussed. Over ten years later, little has been said about US and British troops exposed to the use of antitank shells made from (DU), a toxic radioactive substance. This book calls for a World-Wide scientific effort to study and analyze the devastating effects of depleted uranium (DU) used during the 1991 war against Iraq, on man and environment. This book will, also focus on the United Nations (UN) comprehensive economic sanctions imposed on Iraq by the UN's Security Council in Resolution 661 of August 6, 1990. This book suggests that "perhaps the greatest problem now facing the Middle East region is that of this horrified US led UN comprehensive sanctions imposed against the Iraqi people." In this book, the former US Attorney General, Ramsey Clark, describes the economic sanctions as: "The most dangerous weapon of mass destruction." The aftermath of the Gulf War presented a compelling spectacle of indignant human suffering and an unacceptable devastation of the human perception of humanity. In the pages of this book the authors have tried, by the purely humanitarian goal to diagnose the problem, come close to it, and suggest remedies and warn of unpredictable future bloody consequences. It is up to world public opinion and the members of the UN to decide how to react in the future to such events. This book is prepared, and edited by Dr. Jamal A.
