Iraq Since 1958 by Marion Farouk-Sluglett
This volume explores the emergence of modern Iraq covering the period since the revolution in 1958 and concentrating on Saddam Hussein's rise to power and his consolidation as leader. It also covers the role and decline of the Iraqi Communist Party and the shifting policies towards the Kurds and the Shi'is.
'This is an excellent, reasoned, historical analysis of Iraq, lucidly written, theoretically astute, empirically based, politically firm' -Fred Halliday 'A very good book indeed.' -Albert Hourani 'This new edition extensively revised and updated is the first book to explore the emergence of modern Iraq, from its foundation in 1920 in the 21st century.' -- The Middle East, 1 Nov. 2001 'This extremely readable book pulls the story together, telling it--almost unbearably poignantly--as it is perceived from both sides.' -Asian Voice, 27 April 2002
