Historical Dictionary of Iraq
The Historical Dictionary of Iraq begins with the earliest civilizations and covers the many periods that followed, ranging from the history of ancient Mesopotamia to the Abbasid Empire to present-day Iraq. Included are a historical overview; a country profile; a review of the economy, oil, fauna, and political institution; coverage of the Iran-Iraq War; and coverage of the Kuwait invasion and the second Gulf War and other conflicts. The major ethnic groups such as the Kurds, the Turkumans and the Assyrians, Islam and Muslim sects, Christianity and Christian sects, as well as other religious groups are profiled. Dictionary entries also highlight the main political, religious, and ideological parties, groups, and organizations; major historical personalities; languages; literature; and cultural elements. A broad range of topics, both ancient and modern, are dealt with throughout the introduction and the dictionary, and a comprehensive bibliography complements this extensive historical reference.

War in the Gulf, 1990-91
For most Americans, the war against Iraq lingers in memory as a vast morality play, a drama offering ready made heroes and villains: a glowering dictator in military uniform, hapless Kuwaiti refugees with tales of persecution, plucky pilots with high-tech wizardry, and a defiant American president, ringing Churchillian as he drew a line in the sand.

The Kurdish Question in Iraq
This work first briefly examines the history of the Kurdish question in Turkey and Iran, then concentrates on the Kurdish question in Iraq - specifically, the Iraqi Baath government's attempts since 1968 to achieve a political understanding with the Kurds concerning their status in northern Iraq.
War in the Gulf, 1990-1991
Unlike other works on the Gulf war, this highly informative book discusses unresolved disputes between Iraq and Kuwait in their historical contexts, focusing on Iraq's economic and strategic requirements as well as its views and grievances before the invasion of Kuwait. Offers a far more accurate and complex portrait of the conflict, providing a wealth of background information not readily available before. It explains the frame of mind of the participants as no one has done before and causes us to examine anew such questions as who was responsible for the conflict, and what might have happened if the U.S. had not intervened so rapidly.
