Ilario Salucci - A People's History of Iraq

Beschrijving boek

Subtitel: The Iraqi Communist Party, Workers' Movements, and the Left 1924-2004.

This important book offers a critical analysis of the Iraqi Communist Party and its contribution to the workers’ movement and the Left in Iraq.

Whether standing up to British occupiers, the monarchy they installed, or the brutal dictatorship of Saddam Hussein who for many years was a friend and ally of the United States Iraqis have a rich history that has been entirely ignored by the media and pundits who supported the most recent invasion and occupation of that country.

The Iraqi Communist Party has played a contradictory role in that struggle one that cannot be ignored and which has valuable lessons for the future of Iraq.
