Riassunto

This book offers a concise history of US policy in Iraq since 1990 and how it has evolved over two decades.

• Examines US relations with Iraq from both a regional and international perspective
• Argues that the only way to clearly understand US policy toward Iraq is to see it in its proper historical context and within a transnational framework
• Uses recently declassified documents at the end of each chapter to illustrate US decision-making in the wars for Iraq
• Addresses the importance of the changing domestic climate surrounding two decades
