In 1958 a group of nationalist military officers overthrew the Iraqi monarchy and established a republican regime. This book assesses the social, political and economic consequences of that revolution, which led to the domination of the Ba'ath Party, and the tyranny of Saddam Hussein. The contributors are Hanna Batatu, Norman Daniel, William Roger Louis, Nicholas G. Thatcher, Frederick W. Axelgrad, Joe Stork, Rashid Khaldi, Marion Farouk-Sluglett, Peter Sluglett, Robert A. Fernea, Fodger Owen, Abdul-Salaam Yousif and Sami Zubaida.
