Produktinformationen zu „Iraq: A Political History from Independence to Occupation “
"A pleasure to read. This book is a major contribution by a scholar who has written extensively on Arab nationalism and Iraq and knows the subject well. It is grounded in thorough research, good judgment formed by working on Iraq over a long period of time, and excellent analysis of Iraq's governing institutions and their relation to society over time."--Phebe Marr, author of "The Modern History of Iraq"
"A new and useful approach that provides a bird's-eye view of Iraqi history mainly through three lenses: building a governing structure, molding a national identity, and legitimizing the state and the ruling elites through democratic institutions. Dawisha helps readers to better understand what went wrong in Iraq, why, and what are the roots of the present crisis."--Amatzia Baram, University of Haifa

Rezension zu „Iraq: A Political History from Independence to Occupation “
Anyone who thinks that Iraq has no history of democratic government needs to read this book immediately. -- Choice We are fortunate to have scholars, such as Adeed Dawisha, who continue to grapple with Iraq's political complexities... A highly accessible and insightful work on one of the most important and complex countries in the Middle East. -- Eric Davis, Middle East Journal Dawisha's ... reliance on the many memoirs, monographs, and histories written by Iraqis themselves, plus his own intimate knowledge of Iraq in its domestic, regional, and international setting, makes for a fine (if disheartening) study of abortive state building. -- L. Carl Brown, Foreign Affairs Dawisha has only the worst superlatives for Saddam's tyrannical regime... And yet we should not give up on Iraq, for Dawisha doesn't. He never loses his calm or objectivity. -- Robert D. Kaplan, National Interest This book should be required reading for all those involved in building a brighter future for Iraq. -- Alison Webster, European Legacy
