Iraq - From Sumer to Saddam
Geoff Simons
This first (1994) edition of Geoff Simons' seminal book
presents a broad history of Iraq, from the earliest times to the
emergence of modern Iraq in the twentieth century, the power struggles
that led to the rise of Saddam Hussein, the Iran-Iraq war, the 1990-91
Gulf war, and the continuing depiction of Iraq as a 'rogue' nation.
Lending objective analysis to a comprehensive historical account, such
crucial factors as the West's historical influence in the Middle East,
the prolonged Western support for Saddam Hussein and the US manipulation
of the United Nations are profiled. This book encourages a deeper
understanding and a deeper ethical perception of the "Iraq question".
