What is Iraq - From Sumer to Saddam about?

Lending objective analysis to a comprehensive historical account, such crucial factors as the West's historical influence in the Middle East, the prolonged Western support for Saddam Hussein and the US manipulation of the United Nations are profiled. This book encourages a deeper understanding and a deeper ethical perception of the "Iraq question".
