More about the book
The book explores the complex historical, religious, ethnic, and political forces that shaped Saddam Hussein's dictatorship in Iraq. It examines the implications of his regime's collapse, questioning whether a post-Hussein Iraq could lead to greater instability and conflict, potentially more severe than the Balkan wars. The narrative emphasizes Iraq's lack of a cohesive national identity, created through Hussein's divisive rule, and highlights the critical importance of Iraq's future for U.S. relations with the Muslim world.
