4.0 out of 5 stars
one of the world's great survivors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Building Toward Crisis: Saddam's Strategy for Survival (Policy Papers (Washington Institute for Near East Policy)) (Paperback)
One of the most informative books on the Iraqi regime in the post Gulf War enviornment. For an understanding of Saddam's ability to survive through the 90's and the methods and Iraqi institutions 'one of the world's great survivors' has relied upon, Building Towards Crisis is an excellent book. Highly recommended for anyone really interested in Iraq.

This review is from: Building Toward Crisis: Saddam's Strategy for Survival (Policy Papers (Washington Institute for Near East Policy)) (Paperback)
I read this book for an Arab politics class this year.It is written by an Israeli, so inevitably there is a slant. However, Israelis understand Arab and Islamic politics better than anyone else in the world, including the Arabs themselves. It is essential to their survival. It details the power structure of Iraq's tribes, it explains Saddam's motivations and shows that they are indeed rational, etc. I highly recommend this policy paper in book format. |
