  • Understanding Iraqby William R. Polk

    HarperCollins 2005; US$ 9.99

    Iraq will continue to be a major issue and involvement for the United States into the foreseeable future says William R. Polk , former member of the State Department's Policy Planning Council and professor of Middle Eastern history at the University of Chicago.
