Iraq in Turmoil: Historical Perspectives of Dr. Al
This is a must read book, I have come to appreciate Dr. Ali Al-Wardi's writings he certainly was beyond his time. Mr. Aboul-Enein captured the essence of Iraqi history and society in a concise and clear manner that summarizes the several volumes of Dr. Al-Wardi's books. Being of Iraqi background I have discovered a lot and will definitely read the original writings in Arabic.
Mr. Aboul-Enein's writing style makes it very easy to read and follow even for someone new to the subject matter. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Iraq's ancient and modern history to understand current events.
