Postscript. 330 $aWhen US-led forces invaded Iraq in 2003, they occupied a country that had been at war for 23 years. Yet in their attempts to understand Iraqi society and history, few policy makers, analysts and journalists took into account the profound impact that Iraq's long engagement with war had on the Iraqis' everyday engagement with politics, the business of managing their daily lives, and their cultural imagination. Drawing on government documents and interviews, Dina Rizk Khoury traces the political, social and cultural processes of the normalization of war in Iraq during the last twenty-three years of Ba'thist rule. Khoury argues that war was a form of everyday bureaucratic governance and examines the Iraqi government's policies of creating consent, managing resistance and religious diversity, and shaping public culture. Coming on the tenth anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq, this book tells a multilayered story of a society in which war has become the norm. 606 $aPolitics and war$zIraq$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWar and society$zIraq$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIran-Iraq War, 1980-1988$xPolitical aspects$zIraq 606 $aIran-Iraq War, 1980-1988$xSocial aspects$zIraq 606 $aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xPolitical aspects$zIraq 606 $aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xSocial aspects$zIraq 607 $aIraq$xPolitics and government$y1979-1991 615 0$aPolitics and war$xHistory 615 0$aWar and society$xHistory 615 0$aIran-Iraq War, 1980-1988$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aIran-Iraq War, 1980-1988$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xSocial aspects 676 $a956.7044 700 $aKhoury$b Dina Rizk$01537440 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786131803321 996 $aIraq in wartime$93786742 997 $aUNINA
