    Summary:

    This text traces Iraq's history from the Ottoman Empire, to the creation of the state, its transformation from monarchy to republic, the rise of the Ba'th party and Saddam Hussein, and the American-led war of 2003. Tripp's thesis is that the history of Iraq throughout the twentieth century has made it what it is today, but also provides alternative futures.
