A landmark work of political history and Middle Eastern studies, Republican Iraq: A Study in Iraqi Politics Since the Revolution of 1958 chronicles the dramatic transformation of Iraq following the coup that toppled the Hashemite monarchy and brought a new republican order to power. With scholarly precision, Majid Khadduri details the turbulent power struggles, ideological conflicts, and shifting alliances that defined Iraq's early republican era, from the rise of Abd al-Karim Qasim to the Ba'athist and Nasserist movements vying for dominance. Drawing on firsthand knowledge and rigorous analysis, Khadduri presents the internal fractures within Iraqi society — tribal, ethnic, and political — that made stable governance an elusive goal. The tone is measured and authoritative, befitting one of the foremost Arab scholars of international law and politics of the twentieth century, and the work remains an indispensable primary reference for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of modern Iraqi political life.
