Few countries can claim to have endured such a difficult and
tortuous history as that of Iraq. Its varied peoples have had to
contend with externally imposed state-building at the end of the
First World War, through to the rise of authoritarian military
regimes, to the all-encompassing power of Saddam Hussein's
dictatorship. They have endured destructive wars,
internationally-imposed sanctions, and a further bout of
destabilizing regime change and subsequent state-building from
2003. The recent rise of the Islamic State, the consolidation of
the Kurdistan Region, and the response of the Shi'i populace have
brought the country to a de facto partition that may bring about
Iraq's final demise. The second edition of Iraq: People, History,
Politics provides a comprehensive analysis of the political,
societal, and economic dynamics that have governed Iraq's modern
development. Situating recent events within a longer historical
timeframe, this book is a must-read for anyone wanting to
understand the deep histories that underpin the contemporary
politics of this war-torn and troubled state.
