Neighbors, Not Friends - Iraq and Iran after the Gulf Wars (Hardcover)

This highly controversial and topical book provides the first full, balanced account of how Iraq cheated the UN inspectors on disarmament, and how the US manipulated and infiltrated the UN inspection teams and other staff to gather intelligence on Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein. Aimed at the general reader, it follows and assesses the role of Saddam Hussein, who became president of Iraq in 1979 and shows no sign of relinquishing office.
Dilip Hiro, an experienced journalist who has written extensively on the region, provides a historical and accessible perspective to the relationship between Iraq and Iran, and examines the consequences of internationally significant events such as the death of Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran about a year after the end of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War, and the 1990 invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Providing a full account and analysis of events in Iraq since the 1991 Gulf War, he contrasts the continuing totalitarianism under Hussein with the evolution of the political-religious system in Iran and the development of its internal politics.
