ABOUT THE BOOK
The Modern History of Iraq is
a remarkably readable account of contemporary Iraq, placing in historical
perspective the crises and upheavals that continue to afflict the country. This
text weaves together several important themes, including the search for a
national identity, the struggle to achieve social and economic development, the
changes in political dynamics, and the impact of foreign interventions, to
provide readers with a holistic understanding of modern Iraq. Revised and updated
throughout, the fourth edition features more discussion of cultural identity
and media and society. In addition, this edition includes two new chapters on
the events and shifts in the country of the early twenty-first century-the US
intervention and withdrawal, the stabilization and subsequent unraveling of the
Maliki government, the effects of the Arab uprisings, and the rise of ISIS-and
their political, economic, and social consequences. Written by noted Iraq
scholar Phebe Marr with new co-author Ibrahim al-Marashi, this text is
essential reading for readers who seek to understand modern Iraq in the context
of historical perspective.
