Focusing on the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, Hamdi Hassan offers
a balanced examination of the motivation of the Iraqi polity and
the conditions which accelerated and facilitated the decision to
invade. Critical of the traditional approach of most Middle East
studies, The Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait offers a counterpoint to
Western interpretations of this key event in the contemporary
history of the Middle East. Hassan examines how Saddam Hussein
assessed and responded to American and Israeli intentions after the
invasion, the reaction of other Arab states, and the unprecedented
grassroots support for the Iraqi leadership. In this context, the
author examines the social structure of Iraqi society - families,
clans and regional alliances - and the importance of Ba'athism.
Hassan also examines the political structure of the country,
relating the identity of Arabism - the religion and language which
is associated closely with the Pan Arabist ideals - to Iraqi
foreign policy.
