Oil and the Kurdish Question: How Democracies Go to War in the Era of Late Capitalism
ISBN: 9781498516662 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Oil and the Kurdish Question critiques the conventional narrative of the Iran-Iraq War and the associated Anfal campaign.

Wars of Modern Babylon: A History of the Iraqi Army from 1921 to 2003

In Wars of Modern Babylon, Pesach Malovany provides a comprehensive and detailed history of the Iraqi military from its formation in 1921 to its collapse in 2003. Malovany analyzes Iraqi participation in the 1948, 1967, and 1973 Arab... As long as there have been wars, victors have written the prevailing histories of the world's conflicts.

The Awakening's success argued that the United States could intervene in a war-torn country and, with the right strategy, bring...
