This book analyzes the ways in which US policy toward Iraq was
dictated by America's broader Cold War strategy between 1958 and
1975. While most historians have focused on "hot" Cold War
conflicts such as Cuba, Vietnam, and Afghanistan, few have
recognized Iraq's significance as a Cold War battleground. This
book argues that US decisions and actions were designed to deny the
Soviet Union influence over Iraq and to create a strategic base in
the oil-rich Gulf region. Using newly available primary sources and
interviews, this book reveals new details on America's
decision-making toward and actions against Iraq during the height
of the Cold War and shows where Iraq fits into the broader
historiography of the Cold War in the Middle East. Further, it
raises important questions about widely held misconceptions of
US-Iraqi relations, such as the CIA's alleged involvement in the
1963 Ba'thist coup and the theory that the US sold out the Kurds in
1975.
