This comprehensive work examines the complex transformation of the
Iraqi Communist Party from vanguard actor under Iraq's conservative
monarchy to rearguard lackey under US occupation. Born in the
interlude between two world wars, the Communist Party of Iraq was
fostered by Iraq's embryonic intelligentsia as an approach to
national liberation during the period of British domination. Driven
underground or into exile by successive waves of Baathist
repression beginning in 1963, the party's leadership became
progressively dependent on and subservient to the Soviet Union.
Dissatisfied with the party's irrelevance to Iraq's sociopolitical
dynamics, reform efforts were thwarted by the old-guard leadership,
and in the mid-1970s the party fragmented. With the fall of the
Hussein regime and the US occupation of Iraq in 2003, the remnants
of the party's old guard connected with the US-installed government
and became part of the US project in Iraq.
