Trade Paperback. Format is approximately 5.25 inches by 8 inches. xxii, 310, [2]. Footnotes. Index. Ink notes at back. Note to the Reader; Chronology, Introduction, and Index. Chapter 1: Institutions of Violence; Chapter 2 : A World of Fear; Chapter 3: Ba'thism and the Masses; Chapter 4: Authority; Chapter 5: Pan-Arabism and Ira…q; Chapter 6: Formation of the Ba'th; Chapter 7: The Legitimation of Iraqi Ba'thism. Also contains Conclusion: The Final Catastrophe, and an Appendix on purges of High-ranking Officers, Ba'thists, and Politicians since July 17,1968. The author's assumptions about political behavior are relevant to the styles of reasoning employed and the kinds of evidence used. First, what leaders, parties, and citizens think and expressly say about politics matters. The words that people use are not a "reflection" of some hidden reality; they are themselves part of that reality. The problem always resides in how words and actions correspond. Important, somewhat information on the Ba'th can be found in speeches, party political programs, and the whole body of ideological artifacts. Second, despite the proclivity of those in public office to propaganda, rhetoric, chicanery, and lies, on the whole even they usually end up saying what they mean and meaning what they say. Third, the author eschews all variations of the conspiratorial view of history. The author singles out for consideration the demonstrably inverted relation between the common Iraqi perception of the pervasiveness of a hateful Western influence and the factually diminishing ability of the West to influence local events in the modern period. Kanan Makiya (born 1949) is an Iraqi-American academic and a professor of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies at Brandeis University. He gained international attention writing the 1989 book Republic of Fear, which became a best-seller after Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, and Cruelty and Silence (1991), a critique of the Arab intelligentsia. Makiya would later lobby the U.S. government to invade Iraq in 2003 in order to oust Hussein's regime. Makiya was born in Baghdad and left Iraq to study architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, later working for his father's architectural firm, Makiya & Associates which had branch offices in London and across the Middle East. As a former exile, he was a prominent member of the Iraqi opposition, a "close friend" of Ahmed Chalabi, and an influential proponent of the post-2003 Iraq War effort. He wrote under the pseudonym Samir al-Khalil to avoid endangering his family. In Republic of Fear (1989), which became a best-seller after Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, he argues that Iraq had become a full-fledged totalitarian state, worse than despotic states such as Jordan or Saudi Arabia. Derived from a New York Times review by Adrienne Edgar. Iraq's Saddam Hussein has become the world's most notorious bully, but when ''Republic of Fear'' was published, few people were aware of the extremely repressive nature of his regime. And few cared, evidently; the book met with a resounding silence. The invasion of Kuwait has predictably focused attention on Iraq, and Pantheon Books has bought the paperback rights to ''Republic of Fear.'' Samir al-Khalil's study of Iraqi politics is definitely required reading for anyone with a serious interest in Iraq or in the political dynamics of dictatorship. Mr. Khalil analyzes Iraqi politics through what he sees as its defining feature: the extraordinarily high level of state-sponsored violence. (An expatriate Iraqi scholar, the author has firsthand knowledge of the state's capacity for violence; he wrote under a pseudonym to evade the long reach of Iraqi Government assassins.) The question he poses is this: Why has there been so much extra violence in Iraq - violence, in other words, that far exceeds what would be necessary to contain any potential opposition? In Mr. Khalil's view, the legitimacy of the current regime in Iraq was rooted in violence fr.
