The first king of Iraq, Faisal I, was installed by the British in 1921 - he was pro-British, and was thus deemed 'suitable' to lead an independent Iraq. But his successors - his son Ghazi and Faisal II - both met their demise in suspicious and bloody manners. This book is a unique and timely account of Iraqi history.De Gaury, Gerald is the author of 'Three Kings in Baghdad', published 2008 under ISBN 9781845115357 and ISBN 184511535X.
