{"product_id":"iraq-and-the-crimes-of-john-hagan-9781107507012","title":"Iraq and the Crimes of Aggressive War: The Legal Cynicism of Criminal Militarism","description":"From the torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib to unnecessary military attacks on civilians, this book is an account of the violations of international criminal law committed during the United States invasion of Iraq. Taking stock of the entire war, it uniquely documents the overestimation of the successes and underestimation of the failings of the Surge and Awakening policies. The authors show how an initial cynical framing of the American war led to the creation of a new Shia-dominated Iraq state, which in turn provoked powerful feelings of legal cynicism among Iraqis, especially the Sunni. The predictable result was a resilient Sunni insurgency that reemerged in the violent aftermath of the 2011 withdrawal. Examining more than a decade of evidence, this book makes a powerful case that the American war in Iraq constituted a criminal war of aggression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hagan, Joshua Kaiser, Anna Hanson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107507014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107507012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.90d","brand":"John Hagan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44254822105343,"sku":"9781107507012","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e6eed79-e9ca-4141-a74e-30ae42415ddd.jpg?v=1694614526","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/iraq-and-the-crimes-of-john-hagan-9781107507012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
