Iran and Iraq: Religion, War, and Geopolitics (Understanding
Iran)
Description :
Iran and Iraq, though neighbors for many centuries, share both a
common and a contentious history. Though both are Muslim nations,
they have long been divided by their differing affiliations with the
Shia and Sunni branches of Islam and by a cultural tension between
Persian and Arab. These tensions have occasionally erupted into allout
warfare, most recently in the 198s, when half a million Iraqis
and Iranians were killed in a decade-long war. Today, however,
following the toppling of the repressive Sunni dictator Saddam
Hussein, Iraq's previously oppressed Shia majority is forging ties
with Shia-dominated Iran and creating a new, potentially
destabilizing balance of power in this part of the Middle East. This
book explores the long, rich, complex, and charged history between
these two Muslim nations and analyzes what path they seem to be
heading down in the future, a journey that has weighty
consequences for the western world and the United States.
