Iraqi sociologist and writer Sami Ramadani exposes decades of Western imperial intervention in Iraq, from the 1963 CIA-backed coup to the devastating 2003 invasion and occupation. Ramadani unveils the long-standing role of NATO, often hidden behind a U.S.-British front, in fueling war, backing Saddam Hussein, supporting chemical weapons use, and laying the groundwork for the rise of ISIS. He lays bare the genocidal impact of sanctions that killed half a million children, the ongoing environmental poisoning from depleted uranium, and how neoliberal looting dismantled Iraq’s healthcare and economy. Ramadani connects these strategies to broader NATO expansion, covert alliances with militant groups, and a global order driven not by peace, but domination.
