Iran–Iraq Naval War – Volumes 1 & 2 (Set)
By Tom Cooper, Sirous Ebrahimi & E.R. Hooton

Though remembered as a land conflict, the Iran–Iraq War (1980–1988) was decisively shaped by battles fought at sea. Drawing on exclusive sources, veteran interviews, and previously unpublished photographs, Iran–Iraq Naval War reveals the crucial naval campaigns that determined the course of the war.

Volume 1 – The Opening Battles, 1980–1981
Examines the early months of the war, when Iranian naval power proved vital in keeping supply routes open. Includes detailed analysis of Operation Morvarid, Iraq’s use of Exocet missiles, and Iran’s counterstrikes. Richly illustrated with rare photos and colour artworks.

Volume 2 – The Gulf War at Sea, 1981–1984
Covers the escalating struggle for control of the Persian Gulf, featuring the first combat use of the Exocet, Harpoon, and Phoenix missiles. Draws on Iranian naval archives and offers unique insight into the technological and tactical evolution of the conflict.

An essential, vividly illustrated study of one of the most significant yet overlooked naval wars of the modern era.
