This is a penetrating account of Anglo-Iraqi relations from 1929,
when Britain decided to grant independence to Iraq, to 1941, when
hostilities between the two nations came to an end. Showing how
Britain tried--and failed--to maintain its political influence,
economic ascendancy, and strategic position in Iraq after
independence, Silverfarb presents a suggestive analysis of the
possibilities and limitations of indirect rule by imperial powers
in the Third World. The book also tells of the rapid disintegration
of Britain's dominance in the Middle East after World War I and
portrays the struggle of a recently independent Arab nation to free
itself from the lingering grip of a major European power.
