The Iraq war

This volume explores the key historical, political, and social underpinnings of the United States' war in Iraq that began in 2003. The author explains the interrelated sociological and political forces that led to war, accounting for important aspects of the occupation, the development of the resistance, and the conflict's influence on other nations. Beyond a systematic study of the invasion, occupation, and the future of the U.S.-Iraq relationship, this work also covers the early history of Iraq, the British mandate, the antimonarchy revolution, and the influence of the Saddam Hussein regime and its wars -- the Iran/Iraq War, the invasion of Kuwait, and the Persian Gulf War.
