The Iraq War

We are living amidst the fallout of the most controversial conflict of our times. This book is a tough examination of how and why it was fought and of its continuing effects. With analysis of the Iraq War from several different academic, as well as military perspectives, this is a major new work. Its emphasis is on the links between US foreign policy, US strategy and the US conduct of war and it also covers Iraqi grand strategies, the consequences of the War for transatlantic relations, and includes a chapter on the International Law dimension. In uncovering the War and the behavior of its main parties, the editors draw upon international relations, political science, strategic thought and military theory, plus international law and media studies. For those wishing to understand Iraq war from a very wide range of rigorous perspectives, this is a must-read.Hallenberg, Jan is the author of 'The Iraq War' with ISBN 9780415407793 and ISBN 0415407796.
