After Iraq : War, Imperialism and Democracy Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

After Iraq traces Iraq's colonial history, Saddam Hussein's brutal rise to power and their relationship to Iraq's major oil reserves.

Harding also explores the rise of Pax Americana and the worldwide military expansion of the US following Bush Junior's presidency.

He exposes the stark challenges to international law, multi-lateralism, the UN and to the USA's neighbours and allies.

Harding suggests there are frightening ramifications for the USA's own democracy lurking in the fundamentalist proposition that we must make a choice in a "clash of civilizations." He emphasizes the need for concerted activism to challenge a US-dominated new world order.
