Description

The invasion & occupation of Iraq by the U.S. & Britain marked a turning point in world history & a renewal of the 200-year-old war waged by the North against the South. The American Empire, like all its predecessors, acts primarily out of self-interest. Now, as before, it is the political, econ. & strategic needs of the U.S. that determine its foreign policy. This book is above all a history of Iraqi resistance against empires old & new. Imperial interventions in the past created a layer of collaborators who could only be removed via a revolution; but the tragedy of Iraq is also self-inflicted. The radical colonels, courageous communists & burnt-out Ba’athists failed to establish a stable & just democratic republic, thus enabling a return visit by imperialism. Illustrations.
