Peter Wien, "Iraqi Arab Nationalism: Authoritarian, Totalitarian and Pro-Fascist (Soas/Routledge Studies on the Middle East)"
Publisher: Routledge | 200 | ISBN 0415368588 | PDF | 167 pages | 13.5 MB
This book provides a provocative discussion on the history of Iraq and the growth of nationalism during the 1930s and early 1940s. Peter Wien deconstructs the established view that a large proportion of the nationalist movement in Iraq during this period was heavily influenced by Nazi Germany, arguing that the admiration for Germany was highly nuanced, and only rarely translated into admiration for Nazism. National unity and patriotism were important, but models of leadership were overwhelmingly based on Iraqis and not Hitler. This book also provides a broader understanding of Iraq at this time by analyzing the activities of the Iraqi youth and Jewish Iraqis. Incorporating source material not previously used before in discussions on Iraq and nationalism the book includes autobiographical and biographical material from officers, intellectuals and politicians along with contemporary journalistic writings.
