This was in the aftermath of WWI, the disintegration of Ottoman control, the rise of Arab nationalism, and the powerful presence of British officials and military officers who worked on shaping Iraq in ways that served their global imperial aspirations. Those four years defined Iraq as we know it today in many ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book, for the first time available in English, is part of a more extensive work in eight Volumes titled \"\u003cem\u003eSocial Glimpses of Modern Iraqi History\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003eلمحات اجتماعية من تاريخ العراق الحديث\u003c\/strong\u003e)\" of which this is the translation of one of its edition's volume six.
