The war was launched without a United Nations mandate and was based on the erroneous claim that Iraq had retained weapons of mass destruction. France, under President Jacques Chirac and Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin, spectacularly opposed the United States and British invasion, leading a global coalition against the war that also included Germany and Russia. The diplomatic crisis leading up to the war shook both French and American perceptions of each other and revealed cracks in the transatlantic relationship that had been building since the end of the Cold War. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on exclusive French archival sources and numerous interviews with former officials in both France and the United States, \u003ci\u003eA History of the Iraq Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e retraces the international exchange that culminated in the 2003 Iraq conflict. It shows how and why the Iraq crisis led to a confrontation between two longtime allies unprecedented since the time of Charles de Gaulle, and it exposes the deep and ongoing divisions within Europe, the Atlantic alliance, and the international community as a whole. The Franco-American narrative offers a unique prism through which the American road to war can be better understood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fr馘駻ic Bozo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231704445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231704441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Woodrow Wilson Center Press \/ Columbia Univer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2017","brand":"Fr馘駻ic Bozo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119484170495,"sku":"9780231704441","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25f47995-5864-416f-8643-924fd8db93cd.jpg?v=1687409598","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-the-iraq-frdric-bozo-9780231704441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
