In this razor-sharp analysis, TomDispatch.com commentator Michael Schwartz turns every mainstream conclusion about Iraq on its head. He shows how US occupation is fueling civil war in Iraq and beyond, and how US officials dismantled the Iraqi state and economy, helping to destroy rather than rebuild the country.

In a popular style reminiscent of the best writing against the Vietnam War, he punctures the myths used to sell the US public the idea of an endless “war on terror” centered in Iraq. Schwartz shows how the real US interests in Iraq were rooted in the geopolitics of oil and the expansion of a neoliberal economic model in the Middle East—and around the globe—at gunpoint.

War Without End also reveals how the failure of the United States in Iraq has forced US planners to fundamentally rethink the imperial dreams driving recent foreign policy.

This book is the third in a series of very successful books published in cooperation with TomDispatch.com, including the New York Times bestseller United States v. George W. Bush et al. by Elizabeth de la Vega (Seven Stories Press).

Michael Schwartz, professor of sociology and faculty director of the Undergraduate College of Global Studies at Stony Brook University, has written extensively on the war in Iraq at websites including TomDispatch, ZNet, Asia Times, and Mother Jones, and in numerous magazines, including Contexts, Against the Current, and Z Magazine.

Americans love war because it's exciting and their lives are so boring, that is as somebody else is doing the fighting

War Without End

August 5, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is a powerful book about American military/industrial presence in Iraq. From weapons of mass destruction to an "eternal" military presence in the Middle East, this book connects a lot of dots. In one of the most protracted and inhumanly cruel wars in American history, War Without End shows who really profits in Iraq and who are being oppressed and duped.

A Critical Introduction to Iraq

September 24, 2009

Format: Paperback

This book provides probably the best critical introduction to the Iraq war. It covers issues such as the privatization of Iraq, the U.S. counterinsurgency war, the surge, and the deterioration and eventual disintegration of the country formerly known as Iraq. Schwartz's insights shed much light on U.S. goals in Iraq, while not coming off as polemical or partisan. His analysis is accurate and empirical/based on strong evidence. I recommend this book strongly for all looking to learn about Iraq. I am currently using it for a course I'm teaching on Citizens and Governance.

Well documented

Format: Paperback

It demostrates that this war against Irak was as a first step to principaly control the middle east oil, and then as much of the world by the dominating forces in the US, the Industrial and Finance elite.

THE BEST BOOK ON THE IRAQ WAR

November 9, 2008

Format: Paperback

THIS IS THE MOST CONVINCING AND WELL DOCUMENTED BOOK ON THE ORIGINS OF THE IRAQ WAR AND THE REASONS THE U. S. WILL LOSE IT. I HAVE READ DOZENS OF BOOKS ON THE TOPIC. I DISAGREE WITH THE AUTHOR ON OTHER MATTERS BUT THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WORK.
