Wars, sanctions, occupation, and brutal civil strife have brought abrupt, severe, and often disabling change and now, with the incursion of an Islamic terrorist group, the Islamic State, have almost brought the state to the brink of collapse. These events have made it difficult to chart Iraq’s future path and to relate these changes to Iraq’s enduring continuities. Yet the continuities will remain. Iraq has had a remarkably rich and varied history. Even before recent headlines made Iraq a household word in the West, it was difficult to do justice to the complexity of Iraq’s modern history and to explain the impact of rapid change and modernization on a society going back six millennia. Events since 2003, with their profound discontinuities and uncertainties, have now made this task more challenging, but also more urgent. Although much more is now known (but possibly misunderstood) about contemporary Iraq, even more re- mains opaque. This revision will not seek to provide answers to the future but rather to identify the forces at work, particularly since 2003, the trends and directions in evidence, and to relate them to Iraq’s past history since its founding as a state in 1920. This book is not meant to be an exhaustive and detailed history of modern Iraq. My aim instead has been to present a clear, readable one- volume account of the emergence of modern Iraq and the forces that shaped it. To understand how and why Iraq has reached this point in the context of a longer historical per- spective, I have drawn extensively on many perceptive monographs and studies on modern Iraq. I have tried to include enough general interpretation of events to make the country and its people understandable and enough detail to give color to the events described.

Without taking your class my freshman year, I probably would not have become a history major, which has changed my outlook on the world. Time will tell whether this is good or bad, but for now I am appreciative of your guidance. Also, thank you to my second advisor, Beeta Baghoolizadeh, who dealt with draft after draft and provided my thesis with the critiques it needed to stand strongly on its own. Thank you to my friends for your support and loyalty over the past four years, which have pushed me to become the best version of myself. Most importantly, I value the distractions when I needed a break from hanging out with Saddam. Special shout-out to Andrew Raisner for painstakingly reading and editing everything I’ve written, starting from my proposal all the way to the final piece.

  • Good Reads Phebe Marr's the Modern History of Iraq (Westview
    Good Reads Phebe Marr’s The Modern History of Iraq (Westview Press, 2012) Review and author interview by George Gavrilis. Writing a historical survey of any country is no easy task. This is particularly true of Iraq, where the chaos of the past ten years creates a great temptation for authors to wave away the country’s entire history as a failed political experiment mired in violent sectarianism. Marr’s Modern History of Iraq avoids this temptation and presents readers with a highly informative and sensitive account that does justice to the country’s complicated political and social history. The book spans the British mandate period, independence, the many periods of coups and reforms, the rise of the Ba’th party as well as the cyclical ebb and flow of regional politics. It ends with the post-Saddam social and political order. While the book’s chronological organization is unsurprising and typical of broad historical surveys, it is the author’s atypical approach to Iraq that readers will find refreshing. Marr does not attribute Iraq’s troubles to British colonialism, take a fatalistic approach to sectarianism or over-emphasize the political personalities of Saddam Hussein, Muqtada al-Sadr, Nouri al-Maliki or Massoud Barzani. Nor does she linger needlessly on the well-documented mistakes of the CPA, which initially administered Iraq after the 2003 U.S. invasion. Good Reads: A Modern History of Iraq Page 1 Marr’s account treats Iraq as a contentious political landscape where politics involved skillful accommodation and cooptation alongside brute violence. Most all leaders (national, regional, communal and local) were as apt to make alliances of convenience as they were to resort to repression, and these shifting strategies of rule left their marks on Iraq’s political system, economy and foreign policy.

The thesis covers 603 years of historical events that coincided during the time the Ottoman ruled Mesopotamia, until the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003. The thesis is divided into four chapters, in which I address the factors that aggravated to deteriorate the Iraqi national unity. The historical events include the Ottoman-Persian rivalry that lasted for more than three centuries, and the outcomes that precipitated the Iraqi national identity to devolve into sectarianism. Furthermore, the thesis covers the modern history of Iraq during the period that Britain invaded Iraq and appointed the Hashemite to act on their behalf.

  • Ardasir's Struggle Against the Parthians. Towards A
    Iranica Antiqua, vol. XLVI, 2011 doi: 10.2143/IA.46.0.2084420 ARDASIR’S STRUGGLE AGAINST THE PARTHIANS. TOWARDS A REINTERPRETATION OF THE FIRUZABAD I RELIEF BY Maciej GRABOWSKI (Institute of Archeology, Warsaw University) Abstract: The proposed reinterpretation of the Firuzabad I relief is based on the assumption that we deal with a particular iconographic synopsis of the events that occurred during Ardasir’s war against the Arsacids (c. 220-228). The concept of iconographic summary of several historical events may be traced back to the Achaemenid period (Bisotun relief), and may also be observed in the triumph reliefs of Sapur I. It is thus suggested that each of the three equestrian combat scenes depicted on the Firuzabad I relief recalls one of three major stages of Ardasir’s struggle against the Parthians. Information from textual sources combined with iconographic observations permit to develop a hypothesis concerning the identity of some of the depicted personages, and thus to reveal proper historical context of each scene. New terminus post quem for the Firuzabad I relief is also proposed, this being the year 228 which most probably marks the end of the last phase of the war. Keywords: Sasanian rock reliefs, Firuzabad, Ardashir, Artabanus, Shapur. The earliest Sasanian rock sculptures are two reliefs commissioned by Ardasir I (224-240) and carved on the cliffs of the Tang-e Ab gorge, near the town of Firuzabad (Fars Province). The first one (Firuzabad I) depicts an equestrian combat between three pairs of Persian and Parthian knights (Pl. 1, fig. 1), whereas the second (Firuzabad II) shows the so-called “inves- titure” scene.
