TitlePotential Iraqi targets
DescriptionFolder of handwritten notes by Crusoe, along with presscuttings and maps, outlining potential Iraqi targets for Allied airstrikes and the possible outcome of these for Iraq's economic situation. The notes appear to have been drafted for 'the attention of Steve Walsh or Allan Whitehouse' and identify strategic targets such as oil refineries, dams, oilfields, chemical/nuclear facilities and airports, which are marked on handdrawn maps. There follow a large number of pages of detailed notes under the heading 'Iraq after the war' in which Crusoe assesses the economic impact of this damage on Iraq's infrastructure and possible ways in which reconstruction might be financed and supported.
