Reseña del libro "Twenty Days in Kuwait: A Memoir of Home, Exile and Return (en Inglés)"

This is a book about a drama and an adventure. The drama tells the story of Saddam Hussein's invasion and occupation of Kuwait in the early hours of Thursday, August 2, 1990. His action was precipitated by his eight-year war with Iran, and thereafter by actors on the local scene like Kuwait and other Arab countries, and compounded by the actions of outside players like the United States of America, the Soviet Union, Europe and the United Nations. Part One of the book tells the story of Saddam's fateful action that August day of 1990, and the role played by each of the other actors to bring about the confluence of events that led to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. When the invasion occurred, the author, who had been living and working in Kuwait for 15 years, was on vacation in the United States with his family. When the crisis was not resolved in time for them to return to Kuwait for the new school year, he and his family decided to make Dallas, Texas, their permanent home. Part Two of the book recounts the events and the author's day-to-day activities during what he termed as his "adventure in a journey of misery" when he returned to Kuwait in October of 1990, while it was still under Iraqi occupation, to retrieve his family's household belongings. The journey lasted for thirty five days-twenty days in Kuwait itself, and fifteen were spent on the road for the trip to and from Kuwait.
