The Iran-Iraq War Volume 2 (Revised & Expanded Edition)

“The books themselves are large, and eighty pages long. They are full of pictures of the war, and also have a good amount of large colored side views of the of the different planes, armor, and other vehicles. These are excellent for model makers. The military and political history of the war is fascinating, and the books’ writing only serves to make it that much better. These volumes are another score for Helion&Company.” * A Wargamers Needful Things *“This book is jam packed with excellent information about the Iran-Iraq War.” * Military Modelling *“Again, color and B&W photos illustrate Helion’s account. Abbreviations, extended captions, maps, selected bibliography and chapter endnotes also enhance the effort. And a dozen color profiles – six AFVs and six helicopters – provide plenty of model project inspiration… Strongly recommended!” * Cybermodeler *‘’The book makes for interesting reading while the inclusion of lots of archive images (many in colour), maps and some excellent colour profile artwork which illustrate the colours and markings on helicopters and AFVs which modellers will appreciate. The mix of Western and Soviet equipment on both sides adds to the interest.’’ * Military Model Scene *

Tom Cooper is an Austrian aerial warfare analyst and historian. Following a career in worldwide transportation business – during which he established a network of contacts in the Middle East and Africa – he moved into narrow-focus analysis and writing on small, little-known air forces and conflicts, about which he has collected extensive archives. This has resulted in specialization in such Middle Eastern air forces as of those of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, plus various African and Asian air forces. Except for authoring and co-authoring more than 30 books - including about a dozen of titles for Helion’s @War series - and over 1000 articles, Cooper is a regular correspondent for multiple defense-related publications.
