Iraq is synonymous with Saddam Hussein, an impression only reinforced by politicians, journalists, and pundits. But the debates over Saddam`s regime have left out a vital piece of the story: the Iraqi people themselves. After three decades under Saddam`s repressive rule, the question of what comes next? is an urgent one -and one that the American public needs to know more about. In The New Iraq, Middle East expert Joseph Braude tells the story of a country in flux, from memories of its distant past to the painful realities of life today, and explains how a global commitment to Iraq`s renewal will benefit everyone who takes part in the emerging project of state-building. The New Iraq`s riveting portrayal of Iraqi society-from its preachers and wealthy elites to its prostitutes and disaffected majorities-sheds light on a world unknown to Westerners due to the country`s decade-long international isolation. Major wars, thirteen years of sanctions.
