Synopsis
A Los Angeles Times bestseller, Iraq in a Nutshell; is a complete but brief overview of Iraq's history from ancient Mesopotamia to the withdrawal of U.S. troops at the end of 2011. The book has helped readers understand how Saddam Hussein became so powerful in Iraq, the role played by Kurds, Shi ites and Sunnis, how Iraq s oil reserves affected international politics and why the world was so divided in its support or criticism of U.S. involvement in the Middle East country. Also included: short, easy-to-read chapters explaining post-war insurgency, the controversy over Iraq s purported development of Weapons of Mass Destruction, the transfer of power from the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Government to permanent Iraqi governments, the crafting of Iraq's constitution and prevailing issues (such as corruption).
