The Old Social Classes and the Revolutionary Movements of Iraq

This comparative study analyses the traditional elite of Iraq and their sucessors — the Communists, the Bathists and Free Officers — in terms of social and economic relationships in each area of the country. The author draws on secret government documents and interviews with key figures, both in power and in prison, to produce an engrossing story of political struggle and change. 'A landmark in Middle Eastern historical study' Roger Owen, International Journal of Middle Eastern Studies 'By far the best book written on the social and political history of modern Iraq' Ahmad Dallal, Professor of Middle Eastern History, Stanford University
