Summary
The Persian Gulf War was the first large-scale use of US military forces since the Vietnam War. In an effort to confront some of the issues raised by the Gulf War and its aftermath, a group of faculty members from the Department of History at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign held a campus forum in February 1991. The forum was organized around three themes: “How did it all start?” “Who pays for it?” and “Whose ‘new world order’?” Articles in this issue of Swords and Ploughshares are based on five of the presentations made at the forum.Contents
