In the early hours of July 14, 1958, Iraqi military officers
overthrew the British-installed Iraqi monarchy. The Free Officers
coup initiated an era of military and subsequently Ba'thist rule
that only ended with the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Historians are at variance over the nature of what is called the
Iraqi Revolution in the Arab world. Some scholars argue that the
overthrow was merely a coup d'etat orchestrated by the Free
Officers Movement. Other analysts contend that the overthrow
constituted a real revolution. Very few works, if any, provide a
detailed analysis in support of the "revolutionary" argument. Dr.
Romero's book advances the argument that the events of July 14
simultaneously constituted a coup and a revolution for a number of
reasons, including military involvement, popular participation, and
policies that radically departed from those of the previous regime.
