Reviews
'[A] product of a prodigious amount of research.' -- Asian Affairs
'Franzen narrates the troubled political history of modern Iraq, with close and detailed analyses of the play of forces, and the role of regional and international powers in the rise and fall of the modern Iraqi state.' -- Sami Zubaida, Emeritus Professor of Politics and Sociology, Birkbeck, University of London, and author of 'Beyond Islam: A New Understanding of the Middle East'
'In Pride and Power, Johan Franzen shows the impact of constant foreign intervention on the Iraqi state and reveals the cyclical nature of Iraq's political history. Many lessons from this history can and should be applied to the country today.' -- Renad Mansour, Senior Research Fellow, Middle East and North Africa Programme, and Project Director of the Iraq Initiative, Chatham House
'In this impressive account of Iraq's political history, Franzen draws on an abundance of primary sources to shed new light on the country and to give voice to generations of Iraqis. This meticulous analysis is a must-read to understand Iraq today.' -- Zeynep Kaya, Senior Teaching Fellow, SOAS, University of London
