Iraq / Rebuilding Iraq: Assessing the British Military Occupation /
Conclusion: Lessons for U.S. Policymakers / Significant Dates in
the British Iraq Experience. "American troops promising to end a
despot's tyranny and usher in an era of freedom and prosperity in
Iraq are likely to confront many of the same challenges faced by
Britain when its forces entered that country during World War I.
Because Britain's Iraq experience - which soon saw the abandonment
of London's original, lofty aspirations and eventually ended with
the violent overthrow of Iraq's British-backed monarchy - may well
be the historical reference Iraqis themselves use, the United
States and its allies would be well advised to review the record of
Britain's engagement in Iraq and draw the right lessons from it. In
this timely monograph, contributing historians and military affairs
experts provide much-needed context to the ambitious U.S. effort to
reconstruct and transform postwar Iraq.
