Synopsis
News about the ongoing situation in Iraq dominates the news. From the almost daily terrorist incidents to difficulties encountered by the U.S. forces there to manage the changeover of power and sovereignty, everyone wants to know about this war-torn country and its people. Upon its first publication, "The Complete Idiot's Guide[registered] to Understanding Iraq" took the shelves by storm, offering an authoritative, up-to-date and easy-to-follow overview of Iraq, its history, its leaders, and its place in the international arena. Now, completely updated with the latest developments, exciting news photos, and informative maps, the second edition of this important book will take its place as the best guide to understanding the complex and volatile country of Iraq. The book is completely updated, with new chapters including updated information on: the invasion and subsequent military occupation; internal struggles and terrorism activity; ongoing controversies concerning weapons of mass destruction; the capture of Saddam Hussein and the deaths of his sons; information about the private military companies and their contract workers; information about the ongoing investigation into prisoner abuse and the changeover of power.
