This publication is a rare and extremely valuable source of knowledge about the war spoils of the Iraqi army during the Gulf War conflict in 1991. The second volume of the series focuses on detailed documentation of military equipment captured by coalition forces after the rapid defeat of Iraqi units during Operation Desert Storm, encompassing a modern conflict period attributed to the final years of the Cold War.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Thanks to an extremely extensive photographic collection from veterans and private collectors, this publication is an invaluable reference base for both military modellers and historians interested in twentieth-century military affairs. The photographs show an extraordinary variety of equipment: Soviet T-72 and T-55 tanks, BMP and BTR armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, reconnaissance vehicles, self-propelled guns, and anti-aircraft systems, all of which belonged to the Iraqi army—a country that mostly used Soviet-manufactured weapons and refitted Western vehicles.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        The abandoned military equipment was gathered in the so-called Kuwaiti Theater of Operations (KTO) or in huge scrapyards in Saudi Arabia before being transported to the United States or the United Kingdom for research and exhibition purposes. An additional asset of the book are interviews with veterans involved in the photographic documentation process, enriching the publication with eyewitness accounts and unique anecdotes.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cul\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eProduct category: modelling literature, military album\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eNumber of pages: 132\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: Gulf War, Cold War, years 1990–1991\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eDetailed documentation of Iraqi army vehicles: tanks, IFVs, combat vehicles, and self-propelled artillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eSuperbly illustrated photographs and technical descriptions\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eExcellent source of ideas for plastic modellers and diorama creators\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eProduct of Abteilung 502 publishing – high quality printing and rich content\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003c\/ul\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        The book \u003cstrong\u003eSpoils of War Vol. 2\u003c\/strong\u003e is particularly recommended for advanced and intermediate-level modelers seeking inspiration and precise source publications for realistic recreation of early 1990s Iraqi army equipment, as well as for military history enthusiasts and collectors.
