Death, Dominance, and State-Building

The Us in Iraq and the Future of American Military Intervention

Beschreibung

In Death, Dominance, and State-Building, Roger D. Petersen offers a definitive work on the course, conduct, and aftermath of the Iraq war. He uniquely combines an accessible analytical framework with detailed case studies that unpack the dynamics between the US military and various Shia and Sunni insurgents. The book covers the entire 2003-2023 period in Iraq, incorporating the insights and voices of US military personnel, Iraqi citizens, and even Iraqi insurgents. While it comprehensively covers the past in Iraq, it also draws lessons for the future of American military intervention.
