Product Description: Even before the US invasion of Iraq, challenging questions were on the rise. Why did three separate US administrations all agree on maintaining crippling economic sanctions on Iraq? Was it really the UN that imposed those international sanctions? Why was the second Bush administration so determined to go after Saddam Hussein? What was Operation Iraqi Freedom all about? What did oil have to do with it? Is the US occupation of Iraq connected to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Are those who oppose the war really anti-American and soft on terrorism? Even if the US mainstream press ignores many of these questions, independent analysts have examined them since before the war began...read more

While the war in Afghanistan saw most industrial countries back the US-led campaign, the subsequent war in Iraq has profoundly divided international opinion, and likely represents a watershed in the post? Cold War international order. "The Iraq War" examines the full range of explanations of the conflict, as well as its significance for the Middle East, for key international relationships, and for the future of the international system. The authors critically assess the foreign-policy decisions of both global and regional actors. What policies were adopted, and against what opposition? What state interests were served or compromised in the process? What are the likely longer-term consequences of each country's position? Addressing these questions, as well as broader issues of regional stability, global political economy, and the changing nature of warfare, they offer an in-depth, systematic analysis that brings clarity to this complex subject.

The two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian explores the war in Iraq, the presidency of George W.

Focusing on the different dimensions to the war in Iraq, these essays present concise and penetrating analyses and explore the major implications of the war and their strategic, political, and military contexts. Researchers from the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University have brought their expertise in international relations, political science, strategic studies, political psychology, and more to create a thoughtful, comprehensive analysis. Their vast experience in the military, government, and academic allows for a thorough analysis of questions such as Is United States unilateralism successful foreign policy? Has the Iraq war contributed to the war on terror? Can states be democratized if their regimes are deposed from the outside? Have Israel’s security threats changed in the aftermath of the war? and How did the Pentagon’s media policy reflect the strong significance attributed to military-media relations? The book also contains a chronology surveying the International Inspection Regime in Iraq from 1991 to 2003 and the full text of the National Security Strategy of the United States of America, which should be regarded as the basis of the Bush administration’s strategic rationale for the war in Iraq.
