The Gulf War of the early 1990's (aka Operation Desert Storm and The Mother of all Battles) had a monumental impact on much of our world. Iraq had been dragged into yet another conflict by its warmongering president, Saddam Hussein. Peter and Hazel found themselves nearer to the conflict than their family and acquaintances thought wise, living in the neighboring country of Jordan before, during and after the Gulf War. Once the dust of the war had settled, Iraqis poured into Jordan by the tens of thousands. Iraq on Their Doorstep presents a compelling account of the fears, pains, and difficult decisions faced by Iraqis, as well as Peter and Hazel's own experiences as Westerners.
