Sanctioning Saddam : The Politics of Intervention in Iraq

Rating:
Summary: Informative and knowledgeable
Review: Sarah Graham-Brown is unique in her ability to combine her knowledge as an aid worker with her ability as a scholar. Furthermore, as she is interested in why we have reached the current impasse in Iraq, with its lethal consequences for ordinary Iraqis, she addresses both questions of humanitarian aid as well as those of their larger political consequences. This is the most thoroughly researched book that I have read on Iraq in the 1990s.
