Iraq Since 1958: From Revolution to DictatorshipIn the West, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in August 1990 and later Saddam Husain's political survival following a punishing defeat in war have been greeted with bewilderment and incomprehension. The history of politics in Iraq and the context which has given rise to Saddam Husayn's violent Ba'thist regime have been barely understood. This highly praised book is the first to explore the emergence of modern Iraq from its foundation in 1920 into the 21st

In the West, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in August 1990 and later Saddam Husain's political survival following a punishing defeat in war have been greeted with bewilderment and incomprehension. The history of politics in Iraq and the context which has given rise to Saddam Husayn's violent Ba'thist regime have been barely understood.

This highly praised book is the first to explore the emergence of modern Iraq from its foundation in 1920 into the 21st century. It covers the period from the revolution in 1958, concentrating particularly on Saddam Husayn's rise to power and his consolidation as leader. It is the only political history of modern Iraq now available to provide a critical analysis of the Ba'thist regime which has ruled since 1968.

The authors also explore the role and decline of the Iraqi Communist Party, the shifting policies towards the Kurds and the Shi'is, the nationalisation of oil and Iraq's relations with its neighbours. With the extensive revision and updatings of Peter Sluglett, they provide a stimulating analysis of the country's economy, now so drastically affected by international sanctions.

Real Promo blurb
As the world holds its breath while the US-Iraq confrontation approaches its denouement, here is the definitive story of Saddam Husayn, his rise to power and the historical background to his dictatorship.

This highly praised book explores the emergence of modern Iraq from the revolution in 1958 and concentrating on Saddam Husayn's rise to power and his consolidation as leader. The only political history of modern Iraq now available, it provides a critical analysis of the Ba'thist regime which has ruled since 1968. It explores the decline of the Iraqi Communist Party, the shifting policies towards the Kurds and the Shi'is, and Iraq's relations with its neighbours. Extensively updated by Peter Sluglett, it provides analysis of the country's economy, now so damaged by international sanctions.

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

Quick and easy solution tire kit
Size: 36 pcs
This tire repair kit has been great to keep in my EV9, Model 3, Model Y, and Lexus RX for emergencies. The tools feel strong and durable, and it gives me peace of mind during road trips and daily driving. I’m very thankful I had this kit because you will never know something or someone may puncture a hole in your tire! Especially living in California! Saves time and money on specially if you’re out far from home and no time to wait for a tow truck.

Very Nice Tire Kit
Size: 36 pcs
Put together very well. Nice little kit - all packed up perfectly for easy storage in your vehicle. Quality zipper pouch and the tools look great in it. I have not fixed a flat tire with it but it is handily placed in my vehicle for such an occasion. Glad I bought it.

Great for many ways on my leather goods!
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff got the smell out of a purse I bought that had a chemical smell online. I mean, I try to wash this person all kinds of stuff and couldn't get the stink out of it. I thought I was gonna have to throw it out. I bought this at the last attempt to fix it and it got rid of the smell! I also used it on all my leather shoes, and I cleaned my leather headboard. All shiny and moist now. I know this is for cars, but I don't have any leather seats in my cars. But everything I used it on is clean and smells better.
