To understand Iraq, Charles Tripp's history is the book to read.Since its first appearance in 2000, it has become a classic in thefield of Middle East studies, read and admired by students,soldiers, policymakers and journalists. The book is now updated toinclude the recent American invasion, the fall and capture ofSaddam Hussein and the subsequent descent into civil strife. Whatis clear is that much that has happened since 2003 was foreshadowedin the account found in this book. Tripp's thesis is that thehistory of Iraq throughout the twentieth-century has made it whatit is today, but also provides alternative futures. Unless this isproperly understood, many of the themes explored in this book -patron-client relations, organized violence, sectarian, ethnic andtribal difference - will continue to exert a hold over the futureof Iraq as they did over its past.

The Great Task Remaining is a striking, often poignant portraitof people balancing their own values—rather than ours—to determinewhether the horrors attending Mr. Lincoln’s war were worth bearingin order to achieve his ultimate goals. As 1863 unfolds, we see theuseless bloodbath at Fredericksburg, the disaster atChancellorsville, the battle--of Gettysburg, and the end of thesiege of Vicksburg. Then,Astonishingly, the Confederacy springsvigorously back to lifeAfter the Union triumphs of the summer,setting the stage for Lincoln’s now famous speech on thePennsylvania battlefield.Without abandoning the underlying sympathyfor Lincoln, Marvel makes a convincing argument for the GettysburgAddress as being less of a paean to liberty than an appeal to staythe course in the face of rampant antiwar sentiment. The Great TaskRemaining offers a provocative history--of a dramatic year—a yearthat saw victory and defeat, doubt And riot—as well as a compellingstory of a people who clung to the promise of a much-lo
