Social and Foreign Affairs in Iraq (Routledge Revivals) (Electronic book text)

First published in 1979, prior to the Iran-Iraq war, this important collection of speeches explains some of the strategic foundations of Iraq's foreign and internal policies under the Ba'th Arab Socialist Party. This work concerns itself with aspects varying from advice on youth - 'Let us win the young to safeguard the future' -, to speeches on Iraq's diplomatic relations. This fundamental work, concerning a historical and contemporary range of social and foreign affairs in Iraq, will be of considerable value to both political and diplomatic departments, and universities and research organisations involved with the Middle East. It is also of major significance to anyone with an interest in the rise to power of one of the twentieth century's most infamous dictators.
