Current Political and Social Conditions in Iraq Explained in Xlibris Title

Even after the 2003 invasion of the American-led Coalition forces, Iraq has remained in turmoil coming from old and new problems. Events that have kept Iraq a mainstay in international news suggest that there is still a long way to go before true freedom and peace is established in Iraq. The Xlibris book “What is Happening in Iraq? The ABC of the Current Situation in Iraq” delves into these issues and the conditions of the war-torn nation.

Written by Munaf Yassiri, What is Happening in Iraq? presents an impartial assessment of the current social and political conditions in Iraq from the suffering of Iraqis under Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship to their cooperation with the occupation forces. This self-published book also takes a look at the unification of the Saddam Baathists and the al-Qaeda Wahhabi terrorist to intimidate the Shiite population.

Yassiri enables readers to understand what is exactly going on in Iraq not only by dissecting the existing social and political situations but also by thoroughly analyzing the country’s rich history. Being an Iraqi himself, Yassiri knows his subject matter extensively, which gives him authority and credibility in showing that there is a lot more going on in Iraq than the media is able to cover.

What is Happening in Iraq? is an interesting read for anyone – from historians to politicians to arm chair critics – seeking in-depth information beyond what the news and media has to offer about Iraq.

What is Happening in Iraq? is available on Amazon.com and on the Xlibris online bookstore.
