Reviews
"Eric Davis eschews traditional histories of Iraq that have tended to emphasize political personalities and struggles amongst them, and focuses instead on the relationships between culture and political control, civil society and state institutions, and intellectuals and policy makers. The result is an innovative and multi-layered analysis that is a pleasure to read." - Adeed Dawish, author or Arab Nationalism in the Twentieth Century: From Triumph to Despair"
