This volume explores in close detail the events and factors leading
up to the second Gulf War in 2003 and considers whether war with
Iraq was inevitable.
Nick Ritchie and Paul Rogers argue that after the election of
George W. Bush, conflict between Iraq and the United States was
probable, and that after 9/11 it became virtually inevitable. They
begin by setting the story of Iraq, Bush and 9/11 within the
broader context of the importance of the Persian Gulf to enduring
US national security interests and go on to examine the intense
politicking that surrounded the conflict and still reverberates
today.
The authors examine US policy towards Iraq at the end of the
Clinton administration, the opposition in Congress and Washington's
conservative think tanks to Clinton's strategy of containment, and
the evolution of Iraq policy during the first eight months of the
Bush presidency and the growing pressure for regime change. They
also explore the immediate focus on Iraq after the attacks of
September 11 that marked a watershed in US national security policy
and chart the construction of the case against Iraq through 2002
and the administration's determination to end Saddam Hussein's
regime at all costs.
The Political Road to War with Iraq will be of great interest to
all students and scholars of US foreign policy, war and peace
studies and international relations.
